Korean-American Bar Association of Washington DC (KABA-DC)

With over 260 co-signed organizations, we called on Congress to denounce the anti-Asian racism surrounding #COVIDー19.

Read our statement here:

As you may know, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has raised economic and health concerns at the global level, with increasing reports of spread and deaths in the United States. Unfortunately, fear and misinformation have resulted in Asian-Americans being targets of xenophobic and discriminatory comments and actions.

KABA-DC joins our fellow Asian American and Pacific Islander organizations in denouncing such actions and statements. We also align with NAPABA's organizational statement on this issue (https://www.napaba.org/page/20_02_coronavirus_and_discrimination).

KABA-DC is joining a coalition urging the House and Senate leadership to issue a statement dispelling misinformation and denouncing the racism and xenophobia that has resulted from COVID-19.

Representative Kim’s Bio
Congressman Andy Kim was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 and is the first Korean-American Member of Congress since 1999. He represents the Third Congressional District of New Jersey, which stretches from the Delaware River to the Atlantic Ocean encompassing most of Burlington County and parts of Ocean County.

Andy is a dedicated public servant, who believes service is a way of life. He worked as a career public servant under both Democrats and Republicans, and served at the Pentagon, State Department, the White House National Security Council, and in Afghanistan as an advisor to Generals Petraeus and Allen.

Thanks to the incredible interest and support for the 2019 DC Korean American Attorneys’ Gala, we are sold out and have closed the ticket sale. For those who have registered, we are excited to see all of you at the Gala. Please contact info@kagala.org if you have any questions.

See you all soon!
