Today, the House will vote on my resolution (#HRes908) that condemns anti-Asian sentiment related to #COVID19. @realDonaldTrump's use of China Virus & Kung Flu 2 describe the virus have scapegoated #AAPIs as carriers of the new coronavirus. This is wrong & dangerous.

Last month, @A3PCON released its national report that shows the severity of wrongfully describing #COVID19 as "China Virus", "Kung Flu", or "Wuhan Virus".
From March to May, there were 2,583 reports of anti-Asian incidents.
It is likely there are many unreported acts too. 2/
