Asian-American and Pacific Islander People, Health Care Justice, and COVID-19
Through the continuation of the Our Lives On The Line series, Health Care Voter is shining a light on the experience of some of the people hardest hit by this pandemic.
A/PIA people in the U.S. are being attacked from all sides by the coronavirus. Right now, A/PIA people are facing vicious racist attacks encouraged by the President’s rhetoric, skyrocketing unemployment, and declining business.
Join us as we hear from advocates, experts, and some of our elected officials about the disproportionate challenges threatening A/PIA people during this pandemic, and what all of us must do to hold the Trump administration accountable for putting profits and politics ahead of A/PIA people’s lives.

Aritlce title: COVID-19 and Trump's Racist Rhetoric
"Trump has defended his use of the term “Chinese virus” by comparing it to pandemics with “place names,” like the “Spanish flu.” Putting aside that the “Spanish flu” originated in the United States, the larger problems is that by employing such language, Trump and his nativist advisers are exploiting a health crisis for xenophobic ends."

Article title: 'Why Me, Specifically?' Says Asian-American Reporter After Trump Tells Her to 'Ask China' About Testing (Monday, May 11, 2020)
"Trump told CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang to 'ask China' about testing after Jiang asked if a focus on which country was doing more testing was inappropriate at a time when thousands of Americans are dying of the disease."
Jiang was born in China, but raised in West Virginia.
