Filipino American Democratic Club of New York: Our purpose, renewed
It’s never been more important to know who you are and what you stand for. That’s why the Filipino American Democratic Club of New York is stepping into this election season with a renewed purpose—guided by a refreshed mission, vision, and values, and represented by a bold new brand identity.
This overhaul is more than design. It reflects how far we’ve come as a community, and how much further we intend to go.
Our Mission
To advance Filipino American power and visibility in New York politics by organizing our community, building strong coalitions, and shaping a more just and equitable democracy.
Our Vision
To be a powerful, visible, and integral force in New York politics—where Filipino Americans hold a rightful seat at the table, our contributions are recognized, and our leadership shapes a democracy rooted in fairness, equity, and opportunity for all.
Our Values
Bayanihan as Power: Our culture of caring is our political strength.
Kapwa as Accountability: We act with empathy and responsibility, knowing our futures are linked.
Joy & Hospitality: Politics should feel human and alive—with food, music, and celebration at the center.
Coalition & Solidarity: We stand with AANHPI, immigrant, labor, and allied communities in shared purpose.
We will achieve this by mobilizing our community to participate fully in civic life, fighting for fair representation, and championing progressive values of equity and opportunity. And we’ll do it with authenticity, joy, and new energy that redefines what political engagement can look like.
This is more than a new look. It’s a new chapter for Filipino Americans in New York. And together, we will shape the city’s future.
