“Since day one, the Biden-Harris administration has worked to earn the trust of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander families, and their support is especially meaningful as our communities continue to combat tragic violence and pandemic health disparities. In less than a year, the president appointed a senior White House AANHPI community liaison, expanded the White House Initiative on AANHPIs, and signed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act into law. Tonight’s brief but historic nod to our communities is important, and we look forward to engaging with the administration on the racial profiling of scholars of Asian descent and the work that lays ahead to truly protect AANHPI women, elders, and children.”
