A historic performance for the Wolverines! 🏆

Rep. Grace Meng and Sen. Mazie Hirono will introduce anti-hate crime legislation to address the rise in anti-Asian American hate and violence amid the pandemic.
The bill would create a new Justice Dept. position to facilitate the review of hate crimes. https://t.co/nGt4CNaYjW
