Just passed my amendment in committee to allow thousands of expired visas to be made available to those who were denied or refused admission bc of previous Muslim ban. It’s time for US to uphold promise we made and right the wrongs created by discriminatory ban.
"We need to stop hoping that 1 day we’ll no longer be taken for granted & we’ll be given credit for our work. Stop being happy w/the little we're given after working so hard. Stop apologizing for who we are. Start betting on ourselves."
My latest in @PoliticoMag#StopAAPIHate
I was proud to join @AAPIDemocracy's Voting is Justice rally
We can't allow the rising tide of bigotry against the AAPI community to go unchecked
That's why we passed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act
And that's why the Senate will move forward on critical voting rights legislation
@AAPIDemocracy I stand against all forms of hate. I am not a politician aka poli-trickster. I am an advocate for the people. Don't tell me about what others have not done. Show me what you can get done.
I would like to thank @AAPIDemocracy for inviting me out to attend and speak.
Earlier today at @AAPIDemocracy's ‘Voting is Justice.'
This city hasn’t done enough to protect the AAPI community. It's time for that to change.
Vote for the city you want to see. Vote for a city that protects all communities, no matter background, skin color, or zip code.
It looks like I'll be kicking it off for #AsianAmerican electeds at the @AAPIDemocracy GOTV
Rally at 12pm today at 88 E. Broadway
I've spoken in front of thousands of people and with esteemed electeds in rallies across the country.. but this feels like a pivotal moment
Looking forward to this event by @AAPIDemocracy today at 88 East Broadway from Noon to 3 pm. Elevating Asian American voices in our political process has never been more important!
I'm here at the @AAPIDemocracy ‘Voting is Justice’ rally speaking against #AAPIhate and the power of our vote. We are only as strong as the community we stand with and today I am amplifying the daily challenges of my neighbors and the work we can do to transform NY.
