This week, we’re grateful to welcome back to the podcast Megan Horn Essaheb, the Director of Immigration Advocacy at Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAJC). Host Ian Gaines talks to Megan about AAJC’s policy and legislation priorities with a new administration in the White House, their work on the Reuniting Families Act, and how others can help.
Megan also talks about COVID-19’s role in the significant increase in hate crimes and violence against the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, the shooting in Atlanta, and the #StopAsianHate campaign.
