Gonna assume that means I'm clear for advocacy.

Well. We've all been familiar with the unfortunate uptick in hate crimes against the Asian-Atlasian community, fueled by tensions with China and the COVID-19 pandemic. It's important that this government condemn anti-Asian hate crimes, and more broadly, xenophobia in all shapes and forms - hence, this bill. This bill is an important step towards that goal - it is imperative to actively work to aid local governments in reducing anti-Asian hate crimes and ensuring those responsible are held accountable. I urge the members of this august body to vote for this bill, and stand in solidarity with the Asian-Atlasian community.

Whether or not co-sponsor advocacy is required, I just want to chime in and say the Vice-President is absolutely correct in his intentions for this bill – the basic problem, full stop, is that these crimes are not being reported on. We will be much better placed to tackle this problem with a concerted effort from local, state, regional, and federal authorities to collect the information from which we can then build proper policies to support our fellow Atlasians.

This bill helps address a growing problem in a sensible manner, and as such, I am in full support. Hate crimes must never be allowed to fester in our society no matter the target, and this recent rise in hate crimes against Asians shows the gaping hole we have in tactics to address Asian hate crimes specifically.

This doesn’t seem very controversial. I’d like to move for a final vote.
