Advocacy Letter Urges Rejection of Anthony Tata Confirmation

Asian Americans Advancing Justice - AAJC joins Human Rights First and 36 organizations, representing civil and human rights advocates, veterans, and concerned citizens, to strongly urge rejection of Anthony Tata, Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, confirmation.

Mr. Tata has a dangerous history of using his words and actions to harm communities he is meant to serve. His prior nomination to be Under Secretary of Defense for Policy was ultimately withdrawn after his history of bigoted statements and actions came to light. We believe that the discriminatory and anti-democratic rhetoric he has continued to espouse disqualifies him from any federal appointment and especially one that would directly impact the hiring of personnel and management of the United States Military.
