Our 2022 Policy Priorities One-Pager

This legislative session, we’re calling for bold leadership and historic investments in Asian Minnesotans to help us build the more just and joyful future we deserve.

We need bold leadership and historic investments in Asian Minnesotans.

No person, community, or organization was left untouched by the events of the past two years, but Asian Minnesotans that were already made vulnerable were profoundly impacted. In addition to the impacts of COVID-19, we have seen an increase in attacks and violence directed towards Asian American communities across the United States and increased incidents of hate in our own local communities.

Yet we have not seen significant policy changes in Minnesota to proactively address the systemic inequities and anti-Asian violence that we face. With Minnesota’s $9 billion budget surplus, we are asking our elected leaders to step forward with bold and meaningful investments in the health, safety and economic well-being of Asian Minnesotans

Our Policy Priorities

Passing HF 3434/SF 3557 to implement Ethnic Studies

We want our school systems to be places of joy that inspire imagination, cultivate curiosity, and ensure that all children can learn and grow. Asian Minnesotans have lived in and contributed to the state for generations, yet Asian Americans are often excluded in the curriculum across all subjects.

No matter who we are, where we were born or when we moved here, all Minnesotans should have the opportunity to work hard, take responsibility for their family, contribute to the community and have a fair shot at building a better life.
