美国历史上首位华裔女众议员


2009年,赵美心当选美国首位华裔女性国会议员。自2009年进入国会以来,赵美心一直是民权和移民权益的坚定捍卫者。


随着美国众议院2012年6月18日全票表决通过,美国正式以立法形式就1882年通过的《排华法案》道歉。作为排华法案道歉取得胜利的功臣之一,赵美心被称为“巾帼议员”


2022年,在亚太裔传统月期间,赵美心举行了多场关于亚太裔社区面临的挑战和机遇的听证会和研讨会,其中包括讨论提高对仇恨犯罪的法律认知和反应,并荣获2022年亚太裔传统月杰出华人奖。


此外,赵美心也积极推动着与中国有关的多项贸易和外交政策,她对建立美中关系的平衡视角提供了重要的贡献。

2018年6月21日,孟昭文因其对亚裔社区的持续贡献和提升亚裔在美国社会中的地位的努力,获得了纽约颁发的“美国亚裔精神奖”。这一奖项认可了她在促进多元文化理解和支持亚裔美国人权益方面的杰出工作。


在2022年,作为美国众议院拨款委员会的资深成员及国会亚太裔党团副主席,孟昭文积极推动对抗亚裔仇恨犯罪的政策,并成功争取到关键的联邦资金用于支持这一斗争。


她还推动了建立亚裔历史和文化国家博物馆的计划,旨在教育公众并纪念亚裔在美国历史上的重要角色和贡献。这项立法不仅为亚裔社区提供了实质性的支持,也促进了全国对亚裔美国人历史和文化的认识和尊重。

刘云平是亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民 (AAPI) 的坚定拥护者,也是国会亚太裔美国人核心小组 ( CAPAC ) 的领导委员会成员,他致力于促进亚太裔社区的福祉。


刘云平具有美国空军的军事背景,在第 114 届国会中担任 CAPAC退伍军人和武装部队工作组主席,他还是美国国会及行政部门驻华委员会(CECC)的成员。


刘云平议员不遗余力地为亚裔社区发声,坚决反对将COVID-19称为“中国病毒”和“功夫流感”等带有种族主义色彩的言论。


他积极与国会同僚合作,反对一切形式的仇外和种族歧视。刘议员还带头发起了一封签名150名议员的信,敦促司法部公开谴责与新冠病毒相关的所有反亚裔歧视行为,为保护华裔社区的权益做出了显著贡献。
