“As an individual Teaneck Board of Education Trustee, I call on Teaneck Councilwoman Rice to apologize to Shama Haider, and Ellen Park for trying to politicize their participation in a rally against violence towards AAPI people.  Part of the work in breaking down oppression and systemic racism against AAPI persons means lifting up AAPI voices.  What better way to do so than to elect NJ’s first Assembly Women of Pakistani and Korean decent.  Their voices will help lift the AAPI community and work toward a better, fairer New Jersey for all.
