Presidential Inaugural Committee Announces Honorary Co-Chairs
Bipartisan Collection of Distinguished Americans to Help Lead Inaugural Activities
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Committee announced the honorary co-chairs for the Inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden.
In keeping with the President-elect’s commitment to an inclusive and bipartisan Inauguration, the list of honorary co-chairs includes members of the President-elect and Vice President-elect’s immediate families as well as prominent Americans from both sides of the aisle who have dedicated their lives to selfless service to their fellow citizens.
It’s been a little over three weeks since our last conference call and a LOT has happened with regard to the Transition and Inaugural. So, before everyone officially shuts down for the holidays, we would like to invite you for a quick conference call to update you on the Presidential Appointments process and Inaugural Activities.
We will host the call on Monday, December 22, from 3:00 - 3:30 PM EST. If you’d like to get the call-in information, please RSVP using the link below:
Today, 55 Californians are gathering in the Assembly Chambers of our State Capitol to cast their Electoral College votes for Barack Obama. The energy from this historical moment resonated not only in Sacramento, but also all across our nation as we now prepare to celebrate the historic inauguration of our 44th President.
California Democrats from every corner of the state are packing their bags and traveling to our nation’s capital to participate in the festivities. If you are one of the many Californians traveling to Washington, DC , to be a part of history, you definitely cannot miss the California Democratic Party’s 2009 Inaugural Celebration. Enjoy the inauguration with your fellow Californians in Washington, D.C. by purchasing a ticket to our January 18, 2009 California Bash in Washington, D.C.
UPDATE: Tickets are gone! Thanks for all your support!

Happy holidays everyone! Great news! In order to accommodate as many organizations’ schedule that is affected by the holiday rush last week and this week, the Presidential Inaugural Committee’s final deadline for community organizations to submit their MLK Day of Service events for inclusion the launch of the PIC National Day of Service website has been changed to this Friday, January 2nd.
January 19, 2009, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the day before President-Elect Barack Obama’s inauguration, has been designated as a National Day of Service. The Presidential Inauguration Committee is working hard to promote participation in community service by people all across the country; both President-Elect Obama and Vice President-Elect Joe Biden will be participating in service events themselves. The Obama-Biden campaign and transition team have made an unprecedented effort to reach out to and include the AAPI community. Now it’s time for us to demonstrate our commitment to our communities and give back through service.
Asian Americans for Obama has been asking our grassroots network to organize community service events in your area. Examples of events include: volunteering at an AAPI domestic violence shelter, rebuilding homes damaged in recent natural disasters, organizing a free legal or health clinic, collecting school supplies for underprivileged children, or even a bake sale to raise funds for a charity. Organize an event today and send the following information to events@asianamericansforobama.com:
Although it started with good intentions, the Sonal Shah saga is fast becoming a political witchhunt.
As you may know, Sonal Shah was recently appointed to President-Elect Obama’s Transition Team. For her part, Shah brings impressive credentials to the table. Currently an executive with Google, Shah had served as a Clinton Treasurer Department official, worked for Obama Transition Co-Chair John Podesta (at the Center for American Progress), and was a Vice President at Goldman Sachs.
Asian Pacific Americans for Progress PAC Presents
The AAPI Grassroots Gala and Afterparty
Come join your fellow grassroots activists as we celebrate our achievements, recognize our leaders and look towards the future! All proceeds will benefit APAP PAC’s activities, including the Civic Project.
Just returned from the New Organizing Institute’s Post-Election Rootscamp, an open conference for progressive online and offline organizers who worked on the 2008 election cycle, held in Washington, DC.
Highlights of this year’s open space-styled conference (in which conference participants lead their own sessions) included sessions led by Obama campaign Western Regional Field Director Buffy Wicks and Professor Marshall Ganz, father of the teams model of organizing implemented nation-wide by the Obama campaign.
On December 16 in Chicago, President-elect Obama held a press conference to announce key members of his energy and environment team, including Dr. Steven Chu as Energy Secretary. Read the President-Elect’s remarks and view photos at Change.gov.
We’re wanting to show the transition team the advantages of subtitling Obama’s weekly addresses in several languages. Particularly into Spanish and several Asian languages.
If you know of some translators into Korean, Vietnamese, or any other Asian languages that would like to volunteer to translate one weekly address into one of those languages, we’d appreciate it.
