In its current form, SB 147 blatantly singles out individuals within Asian communities in ways that will further stigmatize and bring harm to Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. We can decide racism and xenophobia have no place in the Lone Star State and send a clear message that SB 147 must not pass. In a time when Asian communities are already under attack, it further stigmatizes us. It raises the temperature against innocent people by targeting them simply because of the country they came from and prevents them from making Texas their home. We urge Governor Abbott and the Texas Legislature to focus their priorities on issues that better serve Asian and Pacific Islander Texans, including increased language access resources, investments in more robust data disaggregation, and a culturally inclusive curriculum in education. Sign on and share our petition to show the leaders of our State that we won't stand for xenophobia and racism in Texas.
