我见 我思我闻
我们要奋战到底
大休斯敦地区的非裔、拉丁裔,华亚裔目前正在為德州州代表及联邦国会议员选区之重划工作进行抗争。
行政及立法权都撑握在共和党手中的德州 是该党之铁票区 ,可是过去十年来, 少数族裔之激增, 已经将共和及民主两党之支持率非常接近, 因此,共和党為了争取继续之优势 ,他们将会把选区重划列為优先法案处理。
据权威人士透露 ,大休斯敦地区第九选区之国会议员格林及廿二选区的希拉积克逊.李将被重划,包括国际区在内将划入第七选区 ,因此现任之两位民主党议员,其中一位势必淘汰除局。
週四下午五时, 由少数族裔社区共同发起的反抗重划游行大会在非裔社区举行, 我们也在参加行例, 為这次的示威活动尽份力量。
Call To Action Rally
We are joining a group of community leaders and politicians on Thursday to participate in the Save our District rally at Emancipation Park.
Included at the rally will be Congressman Al Green, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, the Black Women’s PAC and many community leaders all coming together to save and restore our 18th and 9th Congressional Districts.
The Republican-controlled Texas Legislature is working to change and redraw the districts, including our International District, which will belong in District 7 in the future.
We are so angry and don’t understand why Republicans are taking this action only to benefit their candidates. This is unfair to all of us.
Today we urge all our community people to face this reality and fight for our rights.
We all need to call for action: “Enough is Enough!”
