我们為何而战?

经由赖清阳及陈帆两位华裔律师之鼎力相助下,旅居大休斯敦地区之华亚裔商家及社区领袖今天下午集结在美南电视环球剧场举办一埸定名為”增强社区力量. 贝里尔颱风社区集会”。 首次為我们社会遭受之风灾损失发出正义之声。

在遭受贝里尔颱风断电之巨大损失，这是我们面对严峻之挑战,许多中小企业尤其是餐饮及超市因為将近一星期无电可用,不但收入全无而且食品因而全部损坏,大家遭到之损失要向谁讨回公道。

今天我们大家聚集在一起是要表达我们之心声,负责电源输送之中央电力公司在这次之大停电中显然是失职和无能才造成如此大停电超过一个星期之久。

我们今天是要依循法律途径向中央供电系统公司提出诉讼请求,也希望帮助许多小企业向联邦救济署请求资助。

团结才有力量,我们期盼大家能够共同体认寻求法律援助之重要性.

Why Are We Fighting?

With the help of two Asian attorneys, Andy Lai and Fan Chen, Asian businessmen and community leaders living in the Greater Houston area gathered at the STV Global Theater this afternoon to hold a meeting called, “Empowering Our Community, Town Hall Meeting On Hurricane Beryl," 

for the first time to express a united voice for justice in the disaster and losses that occurred in our community.

The huge loss of power from Hurricane Beryl has been a serious challenge that 

we all have faced. Many businesses, especially restaurants and food markets have been without electricity for almost one week, and not only have they had no income, but also much food has been lost. Where can we go to get justice for all the losses?

Today, all of us gathered to express our voices. CenterPoint Energy which is responsible for power transmission in the Greater Houston area obviously caused a huge power blackout for more than one week because of its negligence and incompetence in responding to this power outage emergency.

Unity is power. We need to unite to fight for our rights.
