President Joe Biden called on Congress to send him new legislation on hate crimes and for Americans to “change our hearts” to combat racially motivated attacks on Asian Americans, following the murders of eight people in shootings this week in the Atlanta area.
Biden asked lawmakers to send him the Covid-19 Hate Crimes Act to sign, which would improve government reporting of the crimes and make information more accessible to Asian Americans.
