True political empowerment can be achieved, however, through political education and voter registration. More importantly, it can happen through a more coherent political agenda that includes calling for necessary and systematic reforms to police accountability across the board. It can happen if Asian Americans work together for the policies that public opinion data show they support at high rates: universal health care voter protections and access to language assistance, and economic redistribution. Asian Americans can also work together to confront nativist rhetoric and anti-immigrant sentiment that is leading to hate crimes against people of color and religious minorities across the nation. So, yes, by protesting Peter Liang's conviction, some in the Chinese American community showed they could mobilize politically, but there is still a long road to true political empowerment and representation.
