John --

Yesterday, the Michigan Senate adopted SR 30, my resolution condemning anti-Asian hate crimes and discrimination, encouraging community members to report these incidents, and calling on all Michiganders to do our part to stop the hate.

Here is a link to the video of my speech in the Senate. There have been 3,795 reports of hate incidents across the country since last March, including 25 incidents in Michigan. These senseless acts of violence, discrimination, & harassment are driven by hate & white supremacy — they must stop.

To my fellow Asian American/Pacific Islander community members, I see you. I know there is so much fear & pain right now. And I know this week has been exhausting.

It is critical that we report hate crimes & discrimination, to ensure that perpetrators are held accountable & to fully address the issue.

Thank you to everyone who is speaking up, reaching out, and taking action.

Thank you,
