Washington, DC - OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates National President Linda Ng added her comments to a press release from the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA) ([link removed]) :

It is hopeful to see this first step of public messaging against the discrimination of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) from the new President and his administration. We look forward to engaging the Administration and Attorney General’s office in taking action to prevent anti-Asian hate incidents and ensure they are properly reported. However, AAPI small businesses and frontline workers have not received adequate COVID-19 resources and protections. We need to see tangible action targeting the physical, mental, and economic harm being done to our communities, and furthermore dismantle the fact that AAPIs are seen as one homogenous group.

OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates is a national civil rights organization dedicated to improving the social, political, and economic well-being of Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs).
