The President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House signed SB 5000, Americans of Chinese History Month today. Thank you, #waleg !

[WA Asians 4 Equality @waasianequality]

SB 5000, Americans of Chinese Descent History Month bill, just passed the House. We would like to thank Speaker Jinkins. @jtwilcox111 ,@WAHouseDems @WaHouseGOP for passing it. Rep. Sharon Santos and Rep. Cindy Ryu, who sabataged the bill in the past were the only no votes. #waleg

Today's article in the Seattle Chinese Times, titled 'Americans of Chinese Descent History Month Faces Obstacles in the House,' highlights the challenges in establishing a commemorative month for people of Chinese descent. #waleg @WAHouseDems @WaHouseGOP

The move by @WAHouseDems, based on controversial research, has sparked concerns. The community is urging Speaker Jinkins not to kill the Americans of Chinese Descent History Month bill again. https://t.co/7iNl3lzI65 #waleg @WAHouseDems @WaHouseGOP

On 11/22. the @UWCollegeOfEd's name was still on the contract. On 12/2, Rep. Santos told us that the contract went to Connie So's Asian American Studies program at @uw. Rep. Santos' name comes up in the 12/6 discussion related to the proviso. 5/n #waleg @WAHouseDems @WaHouseGOP

[WA Asians 4 Equality @waasianequality]

We are still investigating the false claim that @uw prof. Connie So made that she was asked by @waOSPI "to evaluate whether January is the best month to honor 'Americans of Chinese Descent'". OSPI denies such a claim. 1/n #waleg @WAHouseDems @WaHouseGOP @dospueblos @jcamden

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit rejects argument for keeping secret the names of people on a @UW board that oversees the use of research animals. https://t.co/lrjESDnch7 by @mvilla1859 via @seattletimes

Rep. Santos' failed bill was backed by @uw Connie So's poorly conducted survey of 18 respondents out of a homogeneous group of 40 people. Yet they were dismissive of the 1000s who signed the petition in support of the original SB 5000 language. #waleg @WAHouseDems @dospueblos

[WA Asians 4 Equality @waasianequality]

Email sent to @uw College of Arts and Sciences, @dianne_s_harris , requesting Prof. Connie So to be removed from an @waOSPI contract project on Americans of Chinese Descent History due her recent xenophobic comments. https://t.co/8XdOgaOePC #waleg @WAHouseDems @WaHouseGOP

[i200advocate @i200advocate]

Community outraged by @UW Prof․ Connie So's claim that Chinese Americans are not Americans because many of them don't have US citizenship and urges @WAHouseDems to distance itself from this xenophobic … https://t.co/VbDRx9AYr7 #waleg @WaHouseGOP @WASenDemocrats @WashingtonSRC

Committee cutoff is this week. Just emailed Chair Bill Ramos, urging him to leave ego and politics out of SB 5000 and execute it out as is. Leadership in the @WAHouseDems and @WaHouseGOP was copied on that email. #waleg @dospueblos @thenewstribune @SpokesmanReview @jcamden

[WA Asians 4 Equality @waasianequality]

It is puzzling that @UW prof. Connie So insisted on excluding Chinese Americans from Americans. Why is the Chinese American experience not part of the American experience? Urging @UW and #waleg to denounce Connie's divisive comment at the public hearing. @WAHouseDems @WaHouseGOP

[WA Asians 4 Equality @waasianequality]

America is an inclusive country, but not according to @UW prof. Connie So. She claimed at yesterday's courtesy public hearing for a bill that is not advancing that people without US citizenship are not "actually Americans".  Urging #waleg to distance them from such claim.1/n

[i200advocate @i200advocate]

SB5000 passed the #waleg Senate 48 to 0 on 2/1 and has been waiting to be advanced in the House since 2/3. After @WAHouseDems killed an identical bill last year (https://t.co/lxfyV8bbys ), will they kill Americans of Chinese Descent History Month again this year?

"The people of this state do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know." #waleg

[WA Asians 4 Equality @waasianequality]

When we have the AG, the judges, the #waleg all working against open government, the general public needs to think hard about who to send to the office to represent them. "This is not a D or R issue. it's a single party rule issue, it's a power issue." https://t.co/QovIFYiQ5C

SB5000 passed the #waleg Senate 48 to 0 on 2/1 and has been waiting to be advanced in the House since 2/3. After killed an identical bill last year, @WAHouseDems is putting the bill on the back burner this year. Will they kill Americans of Chinese Descent History Month again?
