WASHINGTON Connecticut Attorney General William Tong co-hosted a national convening on countering anti-Asian American and Pacific Islander hate crimes along with the District of Columbia Attorney General and the Attorney General Alliance.
The meeting - held at the start of AAPI Heritage Month - assembled a broad array of legal and policy experts, advocates, and business and corporate leaders from across the country to discuss how to combat anti-AAPI hate and offer solutions to address it.
“The history of bias and hate against Asian-Americans in this country is long and largely invisible, but we cannot remain silent anymore,” said Tong. “The violence and bigotry existed well before the pandemic scapegoating of Asian-Americans, but malicious rhetoric like ‘China virus’ and ‘kung flu’ have worsened this trauma and placed targets on the backs of families like mine.
