【本次大型集会通知在《美西记事》同步发布!】
俄勒冈州及华盛顿州大波特兰都市圈约20个亚裔组织和团体联合宣布:4月6日星期六下午2点,在波特兰河边公园(Tom McCall Waterfront Park)举行大型集会,就最近危及华人同胞的袭击事件表达最强烈抗议,展示华人团结力量,要求政府官员改善治安!
- 时间:2024年4月6日星期六下午2点至5点
- 地点:波特兰河边公园(Tom McCall Waterfront Park)的喷泉(Salmon Street Springs)处,可以使用1020 SW Naito Pkwy, Portland, OR 97204导航找到大本营!
波特兰地区乃至整个俄勒冈州越来越不安全,一次又一次的暴力袭击和暴力破坏让我们心如刀绞,因为,这些事除了发生在其他族裔的身上,正越来越多的发生在我们的同胞身上,而且越来越近!
不久前,一位华裔老人在波特兰河边遭遇一个陌生人无缘无故殴打,造成严重伤害!
不久前,一位华裔大姐在俄勒冈州边远小城被暴力抢劫,导致身亡!
种族袭击、随机袭击、盗车、抢劫、暴力破坏在校园里、街道上、商店里、甚至我们华人自己的家里,像不定时的炸弹一样,突然就发生了,突然就爆发了,突然就发生在我们的同胞身上了,发生在我们的亲朋好友身上了!
在如画的春日里,华人受害者的累累伤痕又一次提醒我们:作为少数族裔,我们如此易受伤害,我们如果选择沉默安静,这样的事情会不会有一天重现在我们自己身上?
这次集会,安排大致如下:
【关于停车,99W公路路边是可以付费停车的,也可以停车在波特兰世界贸易中心(World Trade Center Portland,121 SW Salmon St, Portland, OR 97204)】
- 下午2点15分,集会开始,波特兰警察局官员、政府官员、社区领袖、公开讨论提问、 签联名信!
- 之后,集会参加者可以和朋友们结伴游览河边公园(Tom McCall Waterfront Park),或参与周六农贸市场。
- 下午5点,活动结束,所有人要在这个时间前安安全全地回家。
就是作为同胞一起出现,一起展现我们的存在,表达我们的声音,亮出我们的态度!做出,改变!
这是全社会的问题,但事关我们华人同胞,我们华裔的态度,还有我们的下一代!我们有责任携手站出来!
大型集会选择在河边公园(Tom McCall Waterfront Park)举办,是因为这里最近成为暴力袭击的频发地区。
无论肤色如何,我们生活在这里,我们是这里的主人,我们有权利选择我们要去的地方,想去的时间,和想去的方法!
千里之行始于足下,合抱之木生于豪末,九层之台起于累 土!我们不是喊一喊,站一站,拍个照片就算了,为了我们的家人和下一代有个安全的生活环境,我们还有很多事要做。但,此时此刻,不要沉默,站出来!

……
On April 6, 2024, at 2 p.m., 24 organizations from the Asian American community will organize a peaceful gathering at Tom McCall Waterfront Park to demonstrate their collective strength and unity. Elected officials will attend the event.
Asian Americans are facing increasingly dire safety conditions in the greater Portland area and throughout Oregon. Recently, a 73-year-old Asian man was brutally attacked and seriously injured while fishing near Waterfront Park. Shockingly, the perpetrator remains at large. Are we to remain silent in the face of such heinous acts, allowing them to further erode the fabric of our society, for which we work diligently and pay taxes? Or shall we rise up against these criminals, making it unequivocally clear to all potential wrongdoers that we refuse to be intimidated and they will pay dearly for their crimes?
This is not a protest; rather, it is an opportunity for our community to come together in this beautiful park. Most importantly, it is a declaration that we are stakeholders in this city, and our safety demands the utmost attention and respect. We extend an invitation for you to join us on April 6 for this event. Your presence will significantly impact potential wrongdoers, reaffirming that Asian Americans are not easy targets and that we too are stakeholders in this splendid city.
