Team,
There are so many reasons that we all love Nevada. And one of those things that makes our state so special is the diverse fabric of people who call Nevada home -- including the fastest-growing Asian American and Pacific Islander community in the United States.
But as we celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we're also seeing a spike in hate crimes and discrimination against Asian Americans amid this global public health crisis.
We can't stand by and let this happen. No one should be forced to live with anxiety and fear in their own country -- and no one should be subjected to racism or xenophobia.
Here in Nevada, we celebrate our diversity. We know that Asian Americans are making important contributions to our state and our nation, from our culture to our economy.
And we will not stand for xenophobia in Nevada. When anyone tries to fuel anti-Asian racism or hatred in our state, we will stand up and fight back for our neighbors and communities.
Thank you,
Jacky
