华亚裔面对之问题和危机

一年多艰难困苦难挨的日子，让我们华亚裔社区正在面临前所未有之挑战， 其中以种族歧视及经济困难是我们共同要面对之重大变化。

当新冠肺炎在去年侵袭美洲大陆时，川普总统由始至终称之為中国病毒，全国各地对於新冠疫情正不断流传病毒是来自中国武汉，因而造成一股反华的浪潮，在全国各地发生了数以千计的反亚裔事件造成我们社区之动盪和不安。

我们欣见包括百人会在内的华人社团，先后举办了各种研讨会讨论如何面对未来之挑战，并且已做成决议向地方和联邦政府加强惩罚歧视华亚裔的罪犯。

我们正关注经济和歧视两个主题，在近期内举办社区圆桌会议，并将邀请主管经济部门负责人，向各界说明如何申请紓困案之补助，如何填写申请表。

对於种族歧视是一个全国各地面对之问题，拜登总统已经发佈了行政命令， 严厉防范种族歧视事件，我们也期盼社区各界人士能共同研究如何改善当地之治安，帮忙大家脱离心理上之恐惧和不安。

我们已经看到了曙光，希望疫情尽快过去，让我们共同努力互相关懐，迎向光明之未来。

We Are Now Facing A New Challenge

After more than a one year ordeal and much suffering time, we are finally getting out of the woods. But we are now facing economic and discrimination issues and the pandemic is changing our community in many ways,

When the pandemic hit our community last year, President Trump called the virus a “China virus” and the whole nation was full of an anti-Asian and Chinese atmosphere and the attacks were happening all over the country.

The leading Chinese organization, The Committee of 100, sponsored a virtual meeting to discuss how to protect our community and wants the federal government to enforce the law against any discrimination case.

We are also ready to organize a virtual community round table meeting to discuss all the problems we are facing today. The first meeting will be to discuss how to help local businesses apply for financial help through the SBA with the passing of the $1.9 trillion Rescue Bill.

We all hope this is the light at the end of the tunnel. Now we all need to be united and help each other to work for better tomorrow.
