A $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill, known as the American Rescue Plan, is a sweeping piece of legislation intended to get the U.S. and its residents back on their feet after a year-long shutdown of much of the economy.

Speakers this week will unpack the bill, as well as its shortcomings. See more details in our short VIDEO REPORT from our recent #ethnicmediabriefing on the landmark legislation.

Across the country the question of when to reopen public schools has become a deeply divisive issue.

How will the Biden immigration plan benefit Asian Americans? WATCH AND SHARE

For more than 25 years, immigration restrictions carried the day, but the last 4 years of the Trump administration were especially damaging to the immigration system and to immigrants. In a recent EMS briefing, advocates talk about the main principles of reform they are pushing for and what has been already embraced by the Biden Administration.

On the eve of his inauguration, President Joe Biden released a bold immigration plan, re-instating DACA, rolling back the Trump administration's changes to asylum process, stopping work on the border wall, and extending temporary protected status, among other policy changes. Biden has also stated his support for expanding business immigration, and cutting through the green card backlog.

In a special briefing with Ethnic Media Services, Dr. Nathaniel Persily, the James B. McClatchy Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and head of the Stanford-MIT Healthy Elections Project, talks about what election night might look like, the challenges reporters will face covering national and local races, and the recent non-decision from the Supreme Court as to whether states may count mail-in ballots delivered after election day.

Dr. David E. Hayes-Bautista, Director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at UCLA Health, says farmworkers, who have kept the U.S. food supply steady, often face COVID exposure in their work environments.
