Condemns hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

This Assembly Resolution (AR 87) is a symbolic statement condemning hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). It formally denounces anti-AAPI racism and discrimination, citing statistics including 3,795 reported hate incidents across the U.S. between March 2020 and February 2021, with race as the primary motive in over 90% of cases. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but directs copies to state and federal officials, including the Governor, Attorney General, and New Jersey’s congressional delegation. It directly addresses AAPI communities in New Jersey (nearly 1 million residents, 10% of the state population) and nationwide, emphasizing their contributions and stating that discrimination should be "condemned by all persons of this State."
