On behalf of myself, Terry Lierman, Dr. Jeremy Wu, Dr. Steven Pei, and the APA Justice team, I  would like to express our heartfelt thanks for your support and being a signatory to our alliance’s  letter which have helped propel forward a Congressional Roundtable on the Ethnic and Racial  Profiling of Chinese American Scientists led and conducted by US Representative Jamie Raskin,  Chair of the House Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and Representative Judy Chu, Chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. You can attend this timely and  important roundtable entitled “Researching While Chinese American: Ethnic Profiling,  Chinese American Scientists and a New American Brain Drain” on Wednesday, June 30, 2021 at 3:30 pm ET and livestreamed on YouTube (copy the following link or click on "Read More" at the bottom of the article to watch):

We strongly URGE you to not only watch this Congressional Proceeding, but also to share this link and information with others (see announcement on next page). The witnesses and Members of Congress will shine light on the enormous devastation this unconscionable profiling has inflicted on the reputations, careers, and lives of many patriotic and innocent scientists and the considerable damage to America’s ability to advance scientific and medical breakthroughs, especially during this current pandemic. The roundtable will also discuss recommendations to address discriminatory actions and consider measures to ensure transparency and accountability.  Again, we are grateful to you for joining this dialogue and the engaged participation of the entire wide-ranging coalition effort that initiated, and will enhance the potential outcomes from this Congressional Roundtable.
