Condemns hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
This non-binding Assembly Resolution (AR 49) condemns hate crimes targeting Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI), citing a 2020-2021 surge in reported incidents (3,795 nationwide, 90% race-motivated). It directly addresses AAPI communities in New Jersey (nearly 1 million residents) and highlights their economic contributions and frontline pandemic roles. The resolution formally denounces all anti-AAPI racism and sends copies to state/federal officials, including the Governor, Attorney General, and congressional representatives. It serves as a symbolic statement of support without creating new laws or funding.
