As someone who grew up in Boston, I'm thrilled Boston voters just elected for the first time a woman and an Asian American as mayor, my good friend Michelle Wu. @WuTrain makes herstory! boston.cbslocal.com/2021/11/…

I'm grateful and humbled by the opportunity to serve as San Francisco's next City Attorney. Over my career, I've seen the impact of the law on everyday people. It's an honor to be able to use the power of the law to fight for justice for San Francisco. kqed.org/news/11890009/mayor…

Check out the replay of our press conference to secure $ 210M for our API Equity Budget supported by survivors of hate incidents: Carl Chan, and Millie Liao. There is no question on the need for this funding, let’s make it happen!! teapawt.org/i/broadcasts/1YpJkzNem…

The California AAPI community needs both a comprehensive plan and bold action to address the far-ranging and long-term impacts of anti-API hate. Fully support and adopt #APIEquityBudget. @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom

It's time for greater diversity in the boardroom. That's why we are joining @AscendLeader's 10x25 initiative to increase the percentage of #AAPI directors on #Fortune1000 boards from 4% to 10% by 2025. Learn more about the initiative. #AscendLeadership ascendleadership.org/10x25-p…

Thank you Mr. President! So proud to join @POTUS at the White House as he signed my COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act into law, which aims to help combat the ongoing hate and violence against #Asian Americans. #StopAsianHate 1/3

I’m launching a Racial Justice Bureau to combat hate crimes and work with local leaders to implement innovative solutions to prevent hate. Too many have felt the sting of hate and intolerance. It must end — now. sacbee.com/news/politics-gov…

It’s appalling that this survey shows that 42% of people in the US can’t name a prominent Asian American. We need: comprehensive ethnic studies, more diversity in media, diversity on corporate boards—more AAPI representation in general. nbcnews.com/news/asian-ameri…
