## Summary

**This resolution would recognize and celebrate the contributions and history of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities during AANHPI Heritage Month.** It would emphasize the communities' diversity and presence in the United States, citing more than 70 distinct ethnicities, over 100 language dialects, roughly 25 million people identifying as Asian and about 1.8 million identifying as Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander. The text would note several 2025 anniversaries of significance, highlight service in government and the armed forces, and acknowledge a history of discrimination and violence faced by these communities.
