The solicitation – which outlines 15 guiding questions focused on anti-Asian hate, economic security, language access, health equity, and immigration and citizenship status – provides an opportunity for the public to inform the Commission’s work as its subcommittees develop recommendations for submission to President Biden.
The Commission will accept rolling written responses via email through AANHPICommission@hhs.gov, while members of the public may also submit a request to provide oral public comments. More details and directions are contained within the Federal Register Notice. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/...
Co-chaired by Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai, the 25-member Commission complements the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (WHIAANHPI), both of which were established by the President in May 2021 through Executive Order 14031. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/p...
The Commission advises the President on ways the public, private and non-profit sectors can work together to advance equity, justice, and opportunity for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/84...
