WASHINGTON – On May 1, Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (CA-38) released the following statement in recognition of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month:
“I am proud to celebrate the achievements, history, and cultures of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. My district in Southern California is home to one of the most vibrant AAPI communities in the country. I know just how vital the contributions of our AAPI neighbors are to America's success. Unfortunately, we have seen an increase in anti-Asian hate crimes over the last few years—including the tragic shooting in Monterey Park in January. We must do more to stop this violence. Together with my CAPAC colleagues, I will keep fighting to protect AAPI Americans from discrimination and ensure everyone can feel safe and protected in our communities.”
