The first anti-immigration law in our nation’s history, the Chinese Exclusion Act, specifically targeted Chinese immigrants in 1882 and was still the law of the land until 1943. The wrongful detention of Japanese-Americans in camps during WWII has become well-known to every high school student of Amer- ican history. Locally, our newspapers through the years have reported on numer- ous incidents of hate in the Boston area, ranging from the graffiti and vandalism that plagued a popular Japanese restaurant in Winthrop Centre in the 1980s to the arson fires in Revere in the 1980s that culminated with the blaze in December, 1990, that drove more than 150 persons, mostly from the Revere Cambodian community, from their homes. The tragic shooting late last week in Atlanta by 21 year-old Robert Aaron Long that targeted Asian-American employees in massage par- lors is just the latest example of the growing trend of violence against Asian-Americans that was encouraged by the rhetoric of certain pub- lic figures who fed the flames of racial animosity with terms such LETTER TO THE EDITOR as the “China virus” and “the kung-flu” to describe the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Michelle Wu President, Boston City Council Michelle Wu has been a voice for accessibility, transparency, and community engagement in city leadership. First elected to the Boston City Council in November 2013 at the age of 28, Wu is the first Asian-American woman to serve on the Council. In January 2014, she was elected President of the City Council by her colleagues in a unanimous vote, becoming the first woman of color to serve as Council President. Councilor Wu was the lead sponsor of Boston’s Paid Parental Leave ordinance and Healthcare Equity ordinance prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity -- both of which passed unanimously through the Council and were signed into law by Mayor Martin J. Walsh. She also authored Boston’s Communications Access ordinance, which guarantees translation, interpretation and assistive technology for access to city services regardless of English language proficiency or communications disability. Wu got her start in City Hall working for Mayor Thomas M. Menino as a Rappaport Fellow in Law and Public Policy, where she created the city’s first guide to the restaurant permitting process from start to finish, and was also a driving force to launch Boston’s food truck program. She later served as statewide Constituency Director in the U.S. Senate campaign of her former law professor, Elizabeth Warren. Michelle Wu graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School. She is fluent in Mandarin and Spanish, and lives in Roslindale with her husband Conor and her two year-old son Blaise. U HARVARD CLUB OF BOSTON Boston’s Most Influential Women.

At the start of 2021, images of violent attacks on Asian individuals all across the nation began ooding social media timelines. Large protests shortly followed these attacks in support of the Asian Community to “Stop Asian Hate.” Since then, reports and images of such attacks have only become more and more common, with the Atlanta Spa Shootings at the forefront of Photo by Jason the conversation. As a result, much of the public and the media have been referring to these Leung on Unsplash. attacks as “hate crimes.” Yet, prosecutors are not seeking hate-crime enhancements in many of these cases. Several high-prole cases demonstrate the evidentiary and ethical hurdles that prosecutors must consider when deciding whether to bring forward a hate crime charge. These considerations raise a critical question: When can prosecutors seek hate crime enhancements for attacks on the Asian Community? Attacks Spanning from Coast to Coast Many of these high–prole cases come from California’s Bay Area. For example, on January 28, 2021, in San Francisco, an 84-year-old immigrant from Thailand, Vichar Ratanapakdee, was violently shoved to the ground and died two days later.

As of July 29, 2021, the five candidates have endorsed the recommendations. They are: John Barros, Former Chief of Economic Development, City of Boston Andrea Campbell, Boston City Council, District 4 Annissa Essaibi George, Boston City Council, At-Large Kim Janey, Acting Mayor, City of Boston Michelle Wu, Boston City Council, At-Large For more information on the recommendations or to learn more about the Birth to Eight Collaborative, please contact Kristin McSwain, Executive Director of the Boston Opportunity Agenda.
