纽约亚裔成立巡逻队

十多位志工最近开始在位於纽约曼哈顿华埠及皇后区成立了民间巡逻队，在街头发放传单和口罩， 為大纽约地区日愈败坏的治安提供陪行和巡逻之工作。

我们对於这些志工在此时此地提供之贡献表示非常的感谢，这也再次证明我们社会上那股自扫门前雪的时代已经过去了。

多年前，我记得在波士顿华埠我的同窗好友曾任中华公所主席的陈家驊兄，就组织了一批手持棍棒的志工，每当夜幕低垂时走在华埠大街上巡逻，并立即為警察提供可疑人士的行踪，效果非常明显，顿时改变了波士顿华埠之治安成為大家的佳话。

全美对亚裔仇视事件不断增加，我们各地社区应效法纽约、波士顿之义举，大家為社会治安贡献力量，绝对是件必须和实际的好事。

Volunteers Patrol On The Street

In recent weeks a group of volunteers gathered in New York Queen’s main street to patrol the street. A group led by Ms. Ting formed the group to watch anything happening on the street in order to help many seniors and to make sure they are safe when they crossed the street.

I remember many years ago my old classmate Mr. Chan did the same thing. He organized a group of volunteers to patrol Boston’s Chinatown after dark. Because of their help, the safety of Chinatown was improved dramatically.

We really admire these young people. They all care about our community especially in this pandemic and anti-Asian hate crime period.

We really want to see all Americans to try and organize such volunteer groups to do the same mission.

Asian Americans are in fear, rage and anxiety these days. We need to help each other. We all hope we can make our stores and community safer.
