Team,

Happy Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month! This month is a time to honor the contributions, culture, and resilience of the AAPI community that has played an integral role in shaping the vibrant tapestry of our nation.

The AAPI community has a long history in the United States, with individuals hailing from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and traditions. From pioneering achievements in science, art, literature, and business to fighting for civil rights and social justice, AAPI individuals have made invaluable contributions that deserve recognition and appreciation.

However, we must also acknowledge the challenges that the AAPI community has faced throughout history and continues to face today. Over the past year, we have witnessed a distressing rise in acts of discrimination, harassment, and violence against AAPI individuals. It is up to us to stand together and advocate for an inclusive society that rejects hatred and fosters understanding.

Together, we can foster an environment where diversity is celebrated, inclusion is the norm, and everyone feels valued and respected. Let us stand united in recognizing the AAPI community's extraordinary contributions and ensure that their voices are heard.

Together, we can build a society where diversity thrives and inclusivity knows no bounds.

Sincerely,

Eric Swalwell
