August 21, 2024 (New York, NY) On the first night of the DNC in Chicago, Queens Congresswoman Grace Meng was scheduled to speak alongside Governor Hochul and President Joe Biden. She was the only Asian American on the official speaking schedule, but inexplicably canceled at the last minute without a new slot for the remainder of the Convention.
We are watching Democrats who proclaim we should embrace race-based metrics and “inclusiveness” but ignore it when it comes to Asian Americans. We see this in education, with regard to crime against our communities, and in situating homeless shelters and jails in Asian neighborhoods.
Asian Wave Alliance calls upon the Democratic Party to address this affront to all Asian Americans who want to be seen and heard as relevant participants in our political process which includes our elected leaders who represent our critical voting bloc on the national political stage.
