我如何躋身於休斯敦社区领袖群中

上週参加了為美国国会议员希拉稹克逊李之祝福祈祷大会, 在非裔牧师领袖狄克森主持之教堂中,来了近二千位社区人士, 非常荣幸我在被邀之列上台讲话, 代表华亚裔社区表达我们对这位国会议员对社会贡献之推崇。

多年来我们成為亚裔新移民之一员, 我们正在遭受许多政客之恶意攻击并以立法方式公开表达反对华人购买土地,由於中美两国关係不断恶化间接影响到华裔在美国之处境。

对许多支持共和党人之华亚裔人士而言,他们认為共和党主张小政府少税收是符合从事中小企业人士之理念,而民主党确主张大力救助弱势群体,增加税收。

对我们而言,非裔团体所主张之平等民権是在為我们打头阵, 在争取民权反歧视之努力正是和我们的理念不谋而合。

三週前我欣然接受惠特曼市长之提名為休斯敦第一机构董事一职, 将主管制定全市有关经济文化观光之未来发展, 这也是对我的一项挑战,希望能把华亚裔社区带入主流社会。


How To Ascend To Leadership In The Houston Community As An Asian American


Last week, I attended a prayer meeting for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee that was held at the home church of Bishop James Dixon. Nearly two thousand community members attended the event and I was honored to be invited to speak on behalf of   

the Asian American community. I expressed our deep appreciation for her contribution to society.


As members of the Asian American immigrant community, we have faced malicious attacks from many politicians in recent years. They have even restored legislation to publicly oppose Chinese land purchases.     

The deterioration of Sino-American relations has further been complicated by the current situation faced by Chinese Americans in the United States.


Many Asian Americans who support the Republican party believe that its principle of small government and lower taxes are aligned with the business-oriented mindset of many Asian Americans.


However, the recent increase in anti-Chinese sentiment and the Republican party‘s failure to condemn it have led some Asian American to reconsider their affiliation with the party. They are now seeking for an alternative that can better represent their interests.


Today we are very grateful for the African and Latino political groups that are fighting for all of us. We are so proud to be part of the heart of this country, but we need equal social justice. As a community we need to find ways to navigate this complex landscape and advocate for our needs and rights.
