For those attempting research within Asian American communities and/or a organizations hoping to leverage digital technologies for political mobilization - this research is for you
This survey assesses the landscape of Asian American and Pacific Islander politics in relation to contemporary social movements and digital technologies. We asked respondents how they use technology as a place for political community and organizing and explored the role of technologies in shaping racial politics. The aim of this survey has been to identify new ways for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to organize online. We are committed to developing racial and class consciousness amongst Asian Americans and also leveraging the technological tools necessary to do this work. We hope this research and data will be useful to academics seeking to do community research within Asian American communities as well as for grassroots and nonprofit organizations seeking to leverage digital technologies in political mobilization.
