RALLY FOR PASSAGE OF COVID-19 HATE CRIMES ACT
—ON FLOOR OF SENATE THIS WEEK
아시안을 겨냥한 인종혐오범죄가 계속해서 발생하고 있는 가운데, 연방상원 척 슈머 민주당 원내대표와 그레이스 멩 연방 하원의원이 주도하는 아시안 증오 방지법안 통과 촉구 시위가 맨해튼 한인타운에서 열렸다.
The bill, called the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, would address the rise of hate crimes and violence targeted at Asian Americans by designating a specific point person at DOJ to expedite the review of COVID-19-related hate crimes, providing more support for state and local law enforcement to respond to such crimes, and improving overall communication related to this unacceptable uptick in violence and worry. Schumer detailed aspects of the bill, while calling-out this scourge of hate as community leaders from across the city spoke.
“We are here today to send a resounding message across this city—and beyond—to confront and eliminate anti-Asian hate wherever it might be,” said U.S. Senator Charles Schumer. “Amid a truly troubling rise in anti-Asian hate crimes across the city, and real worry in neighborhoods like this one in Koreatown, I stand with our neighbors and friends from the Asian American community to announce we will push passage of the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act this week in the Senate. The bill gives the DOJ more tools, and locals more help, to stem this tide of intolerance, investigate hate crimes – in every corner or place they might occur—and ease the worry across this great and diverse city.”
