Statement
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Today, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02) released the following statement in recognition of Filipino American History Month:
"For centuries, Filipino Americans have made exceptional contributions to U.S. businesses, culture and arts, government, technology, sports, health care, military, and more. In Hawaiʻi, Filipino Americans have been integral to our history, from driving our plantation-based economy in the early 20thcentury to becoming leaders across every industry in our state. As we celebrate Filipino American History Month and the many positive contributions the Filipino community has made, we must also continue to fight for issues like family reunification and honoring our Filipino veterans."
