Really appreciate the opportunity to share lessons from the TEAACH Act w/ 500+ people at the @taaforg summit. I talked about why multiracial solidarity is important, ways to impact curriculum outside of legislation, and how implementation is going in IL. #togetherwebuild

Happy AAPI Month!
In 2017, Rep. Mah became the first Asian American in the IL House, & in 2021 IL became the first state to include AAPI history in our school curriculum. I am proud to stand amongst my fellow AAPI members & to work alongside them to build an equitable state.

In Chicago politics’ game of building ethnic coalitions, conventional wisdom says there are three groups—Blacks, whites and Latinos—and whoever wins two of them prevails.
This year Muslims and Asians are a big focus—and could change the game.
