Congresswoman Grace Meng and her colleagues in the House and Senate on Tuesday, April 13, called for the passage of the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, which seeks to help combat the ongoing bigotry and violence directed toward Asians Americans.
Meng joined Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) and Rep. Andy Kim (D-NJ) to announce the measure that has received support from President Biden, who is also calling on Congress to pass the bill.
