“No one should be scapegoated because of who they are or where they come from. ADL urges Texans to fight all forms of bias, including hate incidents, hate crimes, Xenophobia, and discrimination against the Asian American and Pacific Islander Community. The fatal attacks in Atlanta underscore the dangerous intersection of misogyny and extremism, and we are united with all our Asian American brothers and sisters in standing up against this hate and violence.
Recent events also illustrate the importance of the COVID-19 anti-hate resolution introduced by Judge George and passed this past summer by Fort Bend County’s Commissioners Court. Now, ADL urges passage of two Congressional resolutions condemning all forms of anti-Asian sentiment related to COVID-19.”
