Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) led the push for the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act that recently passed the Senate with bipartisan support. The bill is aimed at addressing a surge in attacks on Asian Americans amid the COVID-19 pandemic. On Friday, May 7 at 1:00pm ET, Hirono joins Washington Post reporter David Nakamura to discuss the legislation and personal reflections from her new memoir, “Heart of Fire: An Immigrant Daughter’s Story.” Hirono will be the first in a series of conversations on Washington Post Live to mark Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May.
