San Francisco – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement in recognition of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month:
“During Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, Americans celebrate our nation’s vibrant, diverse AAPI communities and their many contributions to our nation. Generations of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have proudly served and led our nation, including today on the frontlines of our pandemic response, where they are risking their lives to save the lives of others.

That is why, this month, the House will pass and send to President Biden’s desk robust hate crimes legislation, which builds on the President’s Day One and March 30 executive actions
