APPAC Supports New York State Attorney General Letitia James

Posted on by admin
On Sunday, June 27th, 2021, APPAC was joined by New York State Attorney General Letitia James. AG James has been a strong advocate for Pakistani-Americans and continuously denounces and investigates acts of hate and violence against Muslim Americans. Tish James has made that a priority during her time as Attorney General by holding key positions for Pakistani-Americans and providing leadership opportunities for our community. This type of representation has made a lasting impact on generations of Pakistani-Americans, including first-generation South Asian young people who have been running for office in NYC, working to bring meaningful and positive change for our communities. Thanks to Tish James for setting that example and continuing to recognize the importance of including Pakistani and Muslim communities.

Posted on by admin
(New York, June 9, 2021) — On Sunday, a man in London Ontario allegedly deliberately attacked a Pakistani family, killing four and seriously injuring a child. The American Pakistani Public Affairs Committee has the following statement regarding the attack: “APPAC is heartbroken over the recent attack against a Pakistani Muslim family in London, Ontario. Four members of the family were killed, and a 9-year old is the sole survivor of this horrific attack and remains in serious condition. All were targeted due to their faith. This is a terrorist attack on Canadian soil and we are demanding that it is labeled as such and that justice is served to the fullest extent of the law. Islamophobia and hate crimes continue to run rampant throughout the world, and the international community must come together to denounce Islamophobia. There is no place for hate and violence in our community. These attacks must end,” says Dr. Ijaz Ahmad, Chairman of American Pakistani Public Affairs Committee (APPAC). ###
