社评 1215 族裔联盟大团结

族裔联盟大团结

德州族裔大联盟成立大会上週日在德州休斯敦正式成立，当天并且得到各界之捐款十万美元，做為今后推动会务之资金。

早在年前，德州州议会曾提出第147 条法案，企图禁止华人在德州购买土地及地產，造成华亚裔社区之极大反抗，在各族裔之奥援下总算暂时搁置。

好友国会眾议员格林及非裔领袖狄克森对此十分关注，并建议此时此刻应该大家团结起来，共同面对恶法。自去年开始，各族裔人士先后举行了无数次之筹备工作，最终决定常设机构来為我们发声争取应有之权益。

大联盟今后推动两项重大工作，其中包括举办大型群眾大会表达我们之心声，同时向议会立法及政府相局，密切关注立法情况，并且要定时向主流媒体递送文稿表达我们的看法。

当晚参加的华裔领袖包括Larry Wong 、 Alice Chan、 Gene Wu、 Kennth Li、 Ada Wang、 Kevin Yang、Gordon Quan、Mary Lee、Dr Steve Pei、 Eileen Huang 、Harry Sun 、Helen Shih 、Derqi Yang 皆纷纷解囊捐款给大联盟，推动今后之工作，当晚并由Ada wang 在她新购之豪宅中招待宾客。

事实上我们应该非常清楚目前亚裔在美国之处境，许多政客都在利用矛盾谋取自己之利益。我们必须行动起来，团结一致，向不公不义之事挑战。

Ethnic Alliance Of Great Unity

The founding Meeting of the Texas Multi-Cultural Advocacy Coalition (TEMA) has been officially established in Houston, Texas. The organization has received more than $100,000 in donations to fund the activities of the new organization.

As recently as one year ago, the Texas State Legislature introduced Article 147 to prohibit Chinese from buying real estate in Texas which caused great frustration and resistance from our community.

Our dear friend Congressman Al Green and Bishop James Dixon are very concerned about this bill and have suggested that we should unite to fight against this evil bill.

Our organization named TEMA will promote two major tasks in the future including holding large-scale demonstrations to express our

voice while paying close attention to governmental legislative issues, and then writing and sending articles on these issues to major media outlets.

The Chinese community leaders came together to support this cause and made financial donations and they included Larry Wong, Alice Chen, Gene Wu, Kennth Li, Ada Wang, Kevin Yang, Gordon Quan, Mary Lee, Dr. Steve Pei, Harry Sun, Eileen Huang, Helen Shih and Derqi Yang. Ada Wang opened her beautiful house to entertain all the guests.

Today we are facing the biggest challenges in our nation and in our community. We need to unite to express our concerns related to our future in this land right now and for the next generation.

We are so happy that all the ethnic groups came forward to be a part of our team.
