NCAPA, a voice for 30 national Asian Pacific American organizations, detailed in a recent press release reasons for its support of Perez as the new Secretary of Labor. Reasons include his perennial activism for issues, such as voter protection, educational equity, and employment discrimination.
Lisa Hasegawa, executive director of National CAPACD (Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development) says, “Over the years, we have worked closely with Mr. Perez to address language access, fair lending and employment discrimination issues in AAPI communities as a part of ensuring equal opportunities for all Americans. We ask the Senate to confirm Mr. Perez without delay.”
