🗣We encourage everyone to participate in the democratic process: Register to vote, see when your next (local) election is, vote, and email and call your Congressional Member of Congress.
❌In the past year, we have seen, witnessed, felt, and experienced ourselves and our Chinese, Chinese American, and AANHPI neighbors, loved ones, and friends be vilified, harassed, profiled, and harmed – sometimes, killed… Anti-Asian and anti-Chinese policies and rhetoric impacts us, and we encourage everyone to speak up about this, your concerns and requests, to your local Congressional Member of Congress.
Some topics you might bring up with your local Congressional Member of Congress:
- Anti-Asian and anti-Chinese hate crimes.
- The federal government’s ”China Initiative.”
- Education of Asian American history.
- US-China relations.
