4月21日，由华协主办的“竞选及选举专题培训”圆满举行，现场座无虚席，气氛热烈。来自十几个镇子、甚至外州的朋友专程赶来参加，充分体现了大家对公共事务和社区参与的高度关注。到场者中，既有来自不同镇子的两党候选人及其团队，也有更多希望多学习、多了解、多参与的热心居民，现场交流充分，反响积极。

本次讲座特别邀请到耶鲁大学竞选学院（The Campaign School at Yale）执行主任 Patti Russo 担任主讲嘉宾。她从选举机制、竞选流程、团队运作到公众如何更有效参与公共事务等多个方面，带来了一场内容扎实、视角开阔、兼具实用性与启发性的分享，帮助大家对选举和 civic engagement 有了更清晰、更系统的认识。也感谢 League of Women Voters of Livingston 和 AAPI New Jersey 对本次活动的支持与推广。

这场讲座也是华协 civic engagement 系列活动之一，体现了华协持续推动社区居民关心公共事务、了解公共议题、积极参与社区建设的努力。在选举年举办这样一场活动，正是希望鼓励更多华人朋友和社区居民从“旁观者”走向“参与者”，多了解选举、多关心社区、多参与公共事务、积极投票、主动发声。每一次学习、每一次参与、每一张选票，都是社区力量的积累，也是在为华人社区争取更多关注、更多理解和更多尊重。

On April 21, the LCA-hosted workshop on elections and campaign engagement was held with a full room and strong energy throughout.

Attendees came from more than a dozen towns—and even out of state—demonstrating a growing interest in civic engagement. The audience included candidates from both parties representing several communities, along with members of their campaign teams, as well as many residents who came to learn more, get informed, and become more involved in the community. Their presence reflected a broad, shared commitment to civic participation.

Thank you to Patti Russo, Executive Director of The Campaign School at Yale, for delivering an insightful and highly practical session on how elections work, how campaigns operate, and how individuals can engage more effectively in public life. We also appreciate the support and outreach from the League of Women Voters of Livingston and AAPI New Jersey.

This workshop is one of a series of civic engagement events organized by LCA to encourage greater community awareness, participation, and public involvement. As this is an election year, the program also reflects LCA’s commitment to encouraging more members of the community to step forward—not just as observers, but as informed and active participants—by learning about the process, staying engaged, voting, and making their voices heard.
