Navy blue flyer saying APABA-DC Presents The Government's Role in Combating AAPI hate with pictures of Jessie K. Liu, an APA woman with short hair wearing a blue dress, Robert K. Hur, an APA man with a black suit, white shirt, and blue tie, and Roy Austin, a Black man wearing a blue shirt.

APABA-DC is deeply troubled by the steep rise in hate crimes and acts of discrimination targeting the AAPI community during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, especially the recent violent attacks against AAPI elders in Northern California and the horrific shooting of six AAPI women and others in Atlanta.  Given that we live and work in the nation’s capital, we have a keen interest in the role the federal government can and should play in combating such discrimination, the intersection between federal and state laws, and what we in the DC area can do to help.  Please join us for an important and timely discussion with three esteemed former government officials.  

We are thankful for the co-sponsorship of NAPABA (National Asian Pacific American Bar Association), APABA-Maryland (Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Maryland), APABA-VA (Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Virginia), AILA-DC (American CAMBA (Capital Area Muslim Bar Association), DBC (Diverse Bar Coalition—National Capital Region), Federal Bar Association, GWAC (Greater Washington Area Chapter, Women Lawyers Division, National Bar Association), HBA-DC (Hispanic Bar Association of DC), KABA-DC (Korean American Bar Association of Washington, DC), SABA-DC (South Asian Bar Association of DC), TALC-DC (Taiwanese American Lawyers Committee of DC), WBA (Washington Bar Association), Washington Council of Lawyers, WBA-DC (Women’s Bar Association of DC), Georgetown APALSA (Georgetown Law Asian Pacific American Law Students Association), GW APALSA (George Washington University Law School Asian Pacific American Law Students Association), and HLSA-DC (Harvard Law School Association of Washington DC).
