👋 Good morning! On behalf of our team, I want to thank the 1,500+ readers who voted for The Yappie in the 2022 Gold Futures Challenge — including nearly 500 of you in the last week alone.
We’ve been blown away by your generosity. As of Friday, we were ranked 4th in the competition and now have a real shot to win the $100,000 grand prize. But we urgently need your help to close the gap before voting closes next Tuesday.
Asian Americans + Pacific Islanders are shaping this country like never before, yet we still all too often remain excluded from the national conversation
That's why since 2019, The Yappie’s all-volunteer team has helped thousands of AAPIs get up to speed on the policy news and activism affecting our communities.
This $100,000 grant is a chance to sustain our reporting for years to come. And as the only newsroom dedicated to tracking the rise of AAPI political power, you can help us challenge harmful stereotypes, counter misinformation, and empower the next generation of AAPI voters — all without spending a cent.
Please take a moment to cast your vote at goldfutureschallenge.org/vote. It takes less than a minute, and if you find our work to be valuable, please encourage your friends, family, and personal networks to vote as well.
Thank you again, and please let me know if you have questions by replying to this email.
— Andrew
