Invite family and friends to get “election ready” with you! Talk about your motivations to vote, who and what is on the ballot, and make it a point to check in with each other. #ElectionReady #LANAVotes #AAPIVoteReady #2024Elections

In some states, early voting has begun! Mail ballot or early voting are easy and effective ways to vote and avoid lines on Election Day, which is November 5th. Pictured here are LANA team members, Lily and Lasamee, at a community gathering for the #LANAVotes program in 2022!

RSVP for October's community call this Wednesday, 10/30, 8 PM ET | 5 PM PT. We'll reflect on the history of voting in the U.S., the growth of the AANHPI electorate, and the importance of civic engagement. We will also take time to get to know one another! bit.ly/LANACC103024

Results take time. While Election Day is still a week away, there are steps you can take now to make your voice heard! If you requested a mail-in-ballot, turn it in through the mail or your local drop box, if your state allows. Early voting is secure and convenient!

It's National Vote Early Day! Vote at one of your local polling spots or send in your mail ballot. If you've already voted, encourage a few family members or friends to do so too! #LANAVotes2024 #NVED2024

Nearing election day, we're reminiscing about the year we launched the LANA Votes program, which focuses on encouraging community members to use their voices and cast their votes. The event pictured here was hosted by Local Grown, and it was one for the books! #LANAVotes

LANA is thankful for our community and looking ahead to the work we'll collaborate on for a better future. As we reach our 25th anniversary as an organization, we wanted to thank you all for supporting LANA in all of its stages! Photo taken by Local Grown at a LANA Votes event.

Help us tell LANA's story & celebrate 25 years of work and advancing our mission of empowering our multi-ethnic community. Please submit a photo or a brief video testimonial by 12/13. Find more details here: bit.ly/LANAis25

LANA is turning 25 this year! 🥳 Established in 1999, LANA has worked over the decades to empower members of our multi-ethnic community. This photo was taken during the gender justice convening with @napawf in 2023, at which board member Maddy S. represented LANA.

In 1999, community leaders with roots from Laos gathered to establish LANA. Today, as a national, community-based non-profit, we amplify the underrepresented voices of and empower our multi-ethnic community through education, visibility, and collaboration. LANA's turning 25!

One thing you should know about LANA is that there will typically be cuisine from Laos at the event. 📸 was taken at the Bowls to the Polls event that Laos in the House hosted in 22 as part of the LANA Votes program. Help us tell LANA's story: bit.ly/LANAis25
