-CA’s 1st openly gay Supreme Court justice

#AsianAmerican community leaders are observing #StopAsianHate Virtual Day of Action & Healing on March 26 in the wake of the Georgia shootings & as nearly 3,800 hate incidents have been recorded across the US https://t.co/MlRRNOtBSt @NCAPAtweets @APIAVote @Grace4NY @Evan_Low

John Cornyn is a shameless politician who defended the crooked, racist cop in Tulia, Texas who sent 10 percent of the city's adult Black population to jail.

Vanita Gupta helped to get them released, and now Cornyn wants to block her nomination at DOJ.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

I carefully read President-elect Biden’s America Rescue Plan. It’s full of many things I’ve been fighting for: Hazard pay. Rent and utility assistance. An eviction moratorium. Extended and expanded unemployment. Paid leave. A $15 minimum wage. An OSHA ETS. And lots, lots more.

[Grace Meng @Grace4NY]

Yet another poll that completely erases the Asian American community. Disappointing especially during the year of #COVID19 where 1 out of 4 #AAPI youth experienced racist bullying. @csmottpoll @UMich @StopAAPIHate https://t.co/TyQyNT0dWs.

AAPI's have been represented in the Presidential Cabinet since 1992...@JoeBiden lets get Julie Su onboard for Labor!

[Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus @CAPAC]

President-elect @JoeBiden - There’s still time to nominate an #AAPI Cabinet Secretary. Julie Su would bring trusted experience to the role of Secretary of Labor. And as a woman of color & daughter of immigrants, she would be a strong voice for others. https://t.co/A3HEczfNFP

Congrats to @neeratanden named OMB Director! First AAPI named for Biden's cabinet and hopefully more to follow.

[Neera Tanden🌻 @neeratanden]

After my parents were divorced when I was young, my mother relied on public food and housing programs to get by. Now, I’m being nominated to help ensure those programs are secure, and ensure families like mine can live with dignity. I am beyond honored.

Trailblazer Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[Jada Yuan @jadabird]

Some truly exciting news: my grandmother, Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu, is going to be on a Forever stamp from the U.S. Postal Service. She was a nuclear physicist who helped disprove a fundamental law of nature and changed a field dominated by men. We’re so grateful for the honor.

Congratulations Commission Elect Mai Xiong!

[Mai Xiong @MaiXiongMI]

Hi. I'm Mai. 35 years ago I was born in a refugee camp in northern Thailand.

My parents fled war-torn Laos, swimming across the Mekong River in the night.

We came to the USA when I was 3 w/ nothing but the clothes on our backs & few photos to remind us of where we came from.

[America's Opp. Fund @AmOppFund]

AAPI's feel you Neera!
🥳🥳 Vice President Elect @KamalaHarris 💙💙

[Neera Tanden🌻 @neeratanden]

The daughter of an Indian immigrant woman is Vice President of the United States. I didn’t think that would happen in my life time. It’s a beautiful thing.

[America's Opp. Fund @AmOppFund]

AAPI's are so proud of Vice President Elect Kamala Harris!
The first Asian, Black, Female VP and daughter of immigrants. 💙💙🇺🇸💙💙

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We did it, @JoeBiden.

#CountEveryVote 💙💙💙💙

[Michelle Kwan @MichelleWKwan]

I can’t take my eyes off of you PA, AZ, NV & GA. Count every vote #Biden2020 🤩

[America's Opp. Fund @AmOppFund]

We must #counteveryvote because every voter’s voice matters. That’s how our democracy works. And now all of us must join together to demand that every eligible vote is honored and let our election officials do their job to ensure every vote is counted. https://t.co/e06mBxGm9t
