May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! This incredible group of advocates - including Greg Jackson from the White House of Gun Violence Prevention - attended the 3rd Annual AAPI Against Gun Violence Convening in Houston last month to learn and collaborate on the efforts to keep our communities safe from gun violence. #AAPIHeritageMonth

Texas For All@tx4all6 May 2024
On the first anniversary of the Allen Mall shooting, we mourn the predominately Asian shoppers who were targeted by a far-right extremist. Asian Texans are worth more.

Every Texan deserves the freedom to have their voice heard. We stand against Gov. Abbott & his cronies who are using force to keep UT Austin students from exercising their right to express their opinions. Texans are #worthmore and deserve to gather without threats of violence.

A reminder to the Muslim American and Asian American communities: Islamophobia is now out and proud in the @TexasGOP (still). When they show you who they really are, don't doubt them. @RiseAAPI

Bizarre: In the days before Christmas, voters in Speaker Phelan's district are receiving cards from some of his detractors suggesting Phelan canceled Christmas in favor of Ramadan #txlege

I was honored to participate in a town hall to discuss the intersectionality of gun violence, healthcare, and domestic violence within the Asian American community. I will always advocate for common sense gun safety reforms to protect our communities. #txlege

Gun advocates always say that everyday people having more guns will make society safer... While innocent bodies pile up, I'm still waiting for that to happen. cbsnews.com/news/boy-shot-de…

Don't pretend that the #SCOTUS decision on affirmative action is something that Asian Americans as a whole support. Every single established Asian American advocacy group in the US condemns this decision as being WILLFULLY BLIND and SHORT-SIGHTED.

🚨 A wake-up call for progressives! Ignoring the long-term engagement of AAPI voters is a grave mistake that will lead to further regression. This article sheds light on the alarming slide. #AAPIpower pewresearch.org/short-reads/…

Today we mourn the loss of 19 kids and 2 teachers whose lives were taken too soon. A year later, we have done nothing to address the leading cause of death for children in the US. Uvalde, we will never forget you. We will never stop fighting for you.
