On Monday, February 6, 2023, from 6-8pm, Asian Americans Advancing Justice | Chicago and the Pan-Asian Voter Empowerment Coalition (PAVE) will host its quad-annual nonpartisan Chicago Mayoral Candidate Forum at the Chicago History Museum, McCormick Theater.

The PAVE Coalition consists of 16 Asian American advocacy and direct service organizations in the Chicagoland area. Founded in 2011, the PAVE Coalition focuses on increasing voter turnout and civic participation among Asian Americans and improving the lives of Asian Americans through advocacy and policy change.
