This is an important message from Senator Susan Lee (Senate Majority Whip) in Maryland:
Dear Friend and Colleague,
On behalf of myself, Terry Lierman, Dr. Jeremy Wu, Dr. Steven Pei, and the APA Justice team, I would like to urge you attend 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.
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.
Kind regards,
Senator Susan C. Lee
Senate Majority Whip
Maryland State Senate
Please note that this is an event that the SCBA leadership encourages all members to attend or watch online:
