Philadelphia: Chinatown Office Open for Business

Posted by Angelica Jongco

Anna Perng of United People for Obama says that the March 22nd grand opening of the Chinatown Obama office in Philadelphia was "a blast."

Volunteers registered over 100 voters, including many of AAPI and
Latino descent. Participating groups included AAPI for Obama, South Asians
For Obama, NJ for Obama, Asian Pacific Americans for Obama, Latinos for
Obama, and United People for Obama.

UPDATE (3/31/08): YouTube video now available.

Update from Anna Perng, United People for Obama:

We had voter registration forms in five languages, Obama literature in
four languages, and over 30 volunteers, including folks from Virginia,
Washington, D.C., NYC, NJ, and Delaware.

We canvassed South Philly,
Chinatown, West Philly, North Philly, and Upper Darby. In addition to
English, the languages spoken by our volunteers included Korean,
Cambodian/Khmer, Mandarin, Fujianese, Portuguese, Cantonese, Bengali,
and Spanish.
