The CA Latino Legislative Caucus and AAPI Legislative Caucus stand in solidarity with Senator David Min, condemning recent racist slurs directed toward him. Hate has no place in our society. We must denounce racism in all forms and foster a society of respect and safety for all.

To hear a Legislator use such hateful and inappropriate language toward a fellow colleague is not only inexcusable, but offensive to all communities that have been greatly harmed by hate and prejudice. Our Caucus stands with @SenGonzalez33 and the CA Latino Caucus.

Happy holidays from the AAPILC! Earlier this month, we hosted a reception w/ the API Caucus Institute, CA Commission on API American Affairs, Asian Business Association, APALF & GOLD HOUSE to welcome our new AAPI Caucus Members: @sencabaldon Jessica Caloza Dr. Darshana Patel John Harabedian

There is no place for hate in any place of worship. The attack on the BAPS Hindu Temple in Chino Hills on March 8th is a reminder that we must protect our sacred spaces and condemn any hate or violence against our community.
