Washington, D.C. — August 17, 2023 — Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC denounces failure to block a new Florida law that restricts people from China from owning property in the state.
Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC issues the following statement:
Florida was unfortunately the last state to repeal its “alien land law” which did not happen until 2018. The language existed in its state Constitution, and it took decades for local Asian American activists to finally repeal it. Just 5 years later, S.B.
This is not the first time Texas has considered a state “alien land law.” In fact, Texas has previously passed three versions of an alien land law in 1891, 1892, and 1921. The last version was formally repealed by the Texas state legislature in 1965. We view any discriminatory land law on non-US individuals to be legally problematic and likely unconstitutional, especially if the law in question is as vague and broad as S.B. 147.
Democracy will not be denied. The movement to advance civil and human rights and to create equity and racial justice for our communities is a marathon, not a sprint. Often in the heat of the race, we can forget to celebrate our milestones, no matter how big or small they may be on the scales of justice. It is with this mindset that Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC invites you to read this annual report – focusing on the progress and accomplishments we have been able to achieve this year.
