Horrible Numbers At A Difficult Time


Most of the nation is still in crisis as the coronavirus death toll closed in on 200,000. In 31 states, the number of new COVID-19 cases increased at least 10 percent last week, according to data from John Hopkins University.


Unfortunately, we are walking in the Fall season now as the weather gets colder. We are going to spend more time indoors and this is not where we want to be as country right now.


Federal Judge Laurel Beeler issued a preliminary injunction to block President Trump’s executive order banning WeChat downloads in the United States. She wrote that the plaintiffs, a group of US-based WeChat users who stand to be affected by Trump’s ban, “show serious questions in their claim that the executive order threatens the users’ First Amendment rights.”


Beeler wrote, "The plaintiffs’ evidence reflects that WeChat is effectively the only means of communication for many in the community, not only because China bans other apps, but also because Chinese-only speaking people with limited English proficiency have no options other than WeChat.”


We strongly urge the federal government to consider many of our ethnic communities that are still suffering with the coronavirus pandemic. We don’t need to have another restriction placed on us to ban WeChat. This is the time that we need to stand united and fight for our rights.


         慘痛數字 剌痛人心


美國疫情目前正值高峯其中三十一州確診病例上升百分之十死亡人數即將破二十萬這是多麽可怕而慘烈之數字, 專家們警告秋季來臨將使天氣轉涼, 人們都會呆在家中這對疫情十分不利。


今天傳來了一個好消息聯邦法官比利爾頒令暫停商務部要求苹果及谷歌当天起把微信從應用程式商店下架的命令, 從一批入禀反對封殺微信用戶認為政府之行為違反美國憲法對公民言論自由之保障。


我們要極力呼籲政府在此時此刻新冠疫情猖狂之時社會大眾面對痛苦时刻, 更不應該做出令人厭惡不解之舉措。


這是我們共同團結之時刻了!請大家要密切注意政治情勢之發展, 自掃門前雪之时代已经過去了, 如果我們要在此落葉生根, 一定要積極參與政治活動, 去投票去為社區做義工或參加公職選舉我們的未來才不會被邊緣化
