我見我思我聞

我們要走在隊伍的前頭

由休斯敦華美恊會等數十個亞裔社團聯會主辦的停止對亞裔歧視大遊行今天下午五時在市中心綠色廣場舉行，我們心中懷着無比悲哀之心情，聚集一堂，組織了龎大的隊伍向廣大市民表達我們的怒吼。

美國是一個移民國家，近三百年來，來自世界每個角落的移民，懐著尋夢的心情來到美洲大陸，共同打造美利堅共和國，七十年來，美國是世界第一强國，她是多少移民們犧牲奉獻塑造的結果，然而，不幸的是，美國國內之種族問題不斷浮上檯面，譲國家面臨嚴重的社會分歧。

這次停止對亞裔歧視大會，我們主要之诉求是在要求聯邦及地方加強對亞裔社區之保護，雖然亞特蘭大之兇殺案尚未查明，但是它發生在亞裔社區，然而，真正的問題在於我們教育之失敗，加上槍支氾濫， 因而造成世風日下，治安不佳之原因。

我們要大聲呼籲，全美華亞裔是我們站出來的時候了，我們已經不能再觀望了。

We All Should Be On The Front Line

A “Stop Asian Hate Vigil & Rally” sponsored by OCA and other Asian groups will be held at a rally in downtown Houston at Discovery Green. This event will touch everybody’s heart especially at this time of the murders in Atlanta, Georgia.

We are the century of immigrants. For almost three hundred years, so many people around the world can’t go to America for the American Dream. Many people have settled down here as their home. We all built the United States of America after World War II. We became a super power and led the world in the last seventy years. But things are changing. We have so many issues these days. Not just the coronavirus pandemic, now the racial bias and attacks have become become our biggest difficulty.

In just the past year alone, more than 4,000 Asians have been involved in hate crimes and more and more people are feeling very unsafe right here in our community.

We really appreciate that President Biden came to Atlanta and visited our community, but we still want to urge the federal and local governments to take more action to protect our community.

In the meantime, all of our people need to stand in the front line to do our best to help each other.
