疫情期间,针对亚裔的种族歧视越演越烈,已经开始肆无忌惮,暴力伤害以至杀人的恶性事件此起彼伏。就在昨天,在亚特兰大又发生针对亚裔的屠杀事件,造成8人死亡,其中6名亚裔。。。
爪哥做为为美国华裔维权的草根运动的急先锋,看在眼里,急在心里。可惜做为华一代,俺的英文实在太差。在华人圈子虽有一定影响力,但华人人口仅占美国人口1%,再宣传再呼吁,也是闭门造车,杯水车薪,效果甚微。所以,如何才能一呼万应,达到振聋发聩的效果,引起美国社会大众的重视,主流媒体的广泛关注,还需要依靠英文,依靠英文写作远胜华一代的华二代。
我很欣慰地看到,爪闺女开始接过老爸手中的枪,勇于出头,勇于担当,并用实际行动为华裔,为亚裔维权。她组织发起的“Stop Asia Hate”活动,在Instagram,Facebook等美国大众互联网平台上,得到广泛的支持转载与赞助,并被媒体引用报道。
征得闺女的同意,我把闺女的article转发到文学城来。希望叔叔阿姨们能支持闺女的行动,众人拾柴火焰高,为亚裔维权,任重而道远。千里之行,始于足下。
为了自己的权益不被伤害
为了所有华裔的权益不被伤害
为了所有亚裔的权益不被伤害
为了所有少数族裔的权益不被伤害
也为所有美国人的权益不被伤害
这是爪闺女的artwork与article:

转:各位华人社区朋友们,
大家好!
紧急通知:自从昨天发生了亚特兰大凶杀亚裔女性的惨案以后,亚裔社区无比悲愤,义愤填膺。疫情期间,针对亚裔的犯罪活动日益猖獗,华人人心惶惶。有鉴于此,UCA在和多处城市的华人和亚裔社区组织了解和协商后,决定与各地华人及亚裔组织一起鼓励和协调全国各城市在本周星期六晚发起烛光悼念晚会,纪念逝去的无辜生命,呼吁社会广泛关注针对反亚裔的犯罪,团结全美人民向仇恨和犯罪宣战!
我们建议本周星期六美东时间(EST)从八点开始,中部时间(CST)从当地七点开始,山地时间(MST)从当地七点开始,以及太平洋西部时间(PST)从当地七点开始举办自己城市的烛光悼念晚会。如果你们已初步计划在本周其他时间举办类似活动,请酌情考虑调整时间,以便和全国各地一同行动,效果更佳。
UCA同时将从美东时间晚上八点开始在Zoom上实况“转播”各地的烛光悼念晚会,直到美东时间十点结束。同时,我们将通过Facebook livestream整个晚会过程,并鼓励大家在Facebook、twitter以及微博上转发和评论。
因为时间紧迫,您的组织或个人如果愿意组织和协调您所在城市的烛光悼念晚会的话,请尽快与我们联系。您可以写邮件给[email protected]或者电话202-642-5060。我们会即刻与您联系。
作为本次活动的组织者,您需要在今天和明天两天时间里1)了解和确认当地城市对小型集会的最新规定;2)联系当地其他社会组织参加,尤其是其他亚裔组织;3)组织最少十个人以上参加;以及4)与当地媒体联系予以报道。也可以邀请当地政要参加。UCA可以给予您适当帮助,尤其是其中的2)和4)。
本次悼念晚会,各地的组织和参与均为自发性活动,由当地参与的华人组织或组织者自行负责所有事项和责任。如有需要,UCA可以给予力所能及的咨询和协调方面的帮助。希望通过大家的一同努力,华人和亚裔社区能在全国各主要大中城市成功展开一场前所未有的全国烛光悼念晚会,为亡灵哀悼,向生者祈福,与仇恨宣战!

我是说在政治领域,将来去竞选~
开个小诊所,是我们第一代移民能走的一条小康路。 对爪闺女,太屈才了。
这才是第二代华裔该有的样子,欣喜看到好多希望的苗苗在成长。
谢谢四哥的帖子。
令人叹为观止,叹为观止,叹为观止!
