There's been a horrific rise in hate crimes against Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders, fueled in part by the intolerance of Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress.
Just this week, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) used a hate crimes hearing -- called in the aftermath of six Asian-American women being brutally murdered in Atlanta -- to joke about lynching, and then go on a racist tirade about the Chinese.
Rep. Roy even claimed it was "Orwellian" to care about hate crimes against Asian-Americans!
Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY) has had enough. In an emotional speech, Rep. Meng ripped Roy for "putting a bull's eye on the back of Asian-Americans across this country."
Grace Meng is one of the unsung heroes of the Democratic party. While she’s a strong progressive, she’s from a more conservative district than many realize. She needs our help to remain a strong progressive voice in Congress.
Help us meet our goal of getting 500 people to thank Rep. Meng for her strong voice against hate.
100 PERCENT OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL GO TO REP. GRACE MENG IMMEDIATELY.
Thanks so much for your support!
