Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are among the fastest growing groups of North Carolinians in the 21st Century.

Chavi Koneru and Ricky Leung, co-founders of North Carolina Asian Americans Together, join us this week to discuss the mission of their organization, voting rights, increasing representation in elected office and the importance of the 2020 Census.
