華促會移民權益廣播節目

在美國，每年五月是慶祝亞裔文化及社區對美國歷史、文化、社會、及多元種族民主的貢獻。在慶祝的同時也提醒我們美國亞裔的歷史， 反思前人面對各種種族主義的堅持及抗爭，對社會公義和民權的堅持。在過去兩年疫情，對華裔亞裔社區來說，除了要擔心新冠疫情之外，還要面對疫情而加劇的反亞裔仇視情緒。這一集我們會訪問華促會的政策主任—李申申女士（ Annie Lee），了解華促會及“停止仇視亞裔居民“的倡議工作，如何從社區收集得來的仇視事件數據，去提高社會對亞裔社區的重視及需要，利用這個契機去聯合其他弱勢社群去推動公共政策，帶來改變。李女士（Annie）會簡單講解華促會目前在加州立法機構提出的「不容仇恨」的三項法案，AB2549，SB1161和AB2448，如何能夠長遠解決公眾場所的仇恨和騷擾問題，為我們帶來一個更包容及安全的社會。本集以普通話進行。

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time to celebrate Asian American culture and history, including the contributions of the AAPI community to America’s multi-racial democracy. At the same time, we want to recognize the challenges faced by the AAPI community, such as the intensified hate and racism targeting our community during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this episode, we speak with Annie Lee, CAA’s Policy Director, to understand CAA and Stop AAPI Hate’s work in addressing anti-Asian racism. Annie explains how Stop AAPI Hate has collected anti-Asian hate incidents, what trends we see in these reports, and how policy changes can help to address experiences of harassment on public streets, mass transit, and big businesses. Annie shares about Stop AAPI Hate’s No Place for Hate legislative agenda in California, which includes three bills (AB 2448, SB 1161, and AB 2549) which aim to make our society a safer place for all. This episode is in Mandarin.

從1840年代開始，加州三藩市城市發展與美國移民歷史息息相關，迎來不少來自亞洲的移民，尤其來自中國南方廣東地區的華人移民。目前三藩市的華裔人口比率多達總人口的20%，會講中文的華裔亦接近整體人口的18%。 即使有著相對豐富的華裔的歷史及集中的華裔居民，在保育華人文化及語言上，尤以當地華人的母語--廣東話，面對不少挑戰。今集我們邀請了三藩市市立大學教授廣東話的余天璇教授（Grace）及兩位在市立大學發起保育廣東話課程運動的學生Chester及Julia。 其中余教授會講述市立大學廣東話課程的歷史背景，保育廣東話及廣東文化對於華裔社區的重要性。Chester及Julia會分享他們作為美國土生華裔後代去學習廣東話的經驗及「拯救廣東話課程」行動的最新情況。

San Francisco has long been an immigrant gateway city for Asian immigrants, particularly for Chinese immigrants. Today, more than 20% of the City’s population is of Chinese descent and Chinese is spoken by more than 18% of residents. Despite the history and strong presence of Chinese Americans, the community has struggled to preserve Cantonese, a language that is widely-spoken by the local Chinese community. In this episode, we invited Professor Grace Yu, a Cantonese language instructor at the City College of San Francisco, as well as Chester Leung and Julia Quon, two student organizers from the Save Cantonese at CCSF campaign. They share about the history of the Cantonese language program at CCSF, their own personal experiences of learning Cantonese, why the Cantonese program is important, and how others can support the campaign to save Cantonese.

在過去的兩年，Covid-19 的疫情反反覆覆，經歷了幾次的感染高峰以及不斷變種的病毒，公共衛生的建議指引亦相應調整。面對來自不同公共衛生部門的建議及網路上假訊息的傳播，社區人士往往很難去辨別並適應，尤其是英語能力有限的華裔移民。今集我們邀請到來自加州大學三藩市分校家庭及社區醫學副教授 梁醫生（Lydia）講解三藩市灣區的最新疫情情況，解釋何謂 Omicron 變種病毒？假如你感染病毒，你需要如何隔離？在保持基本社交活動的同時怎樣去衡量保障個人及家庭的健康。梁醫生亦會分享怎樣去理解及分析各樣疫情相關的資訊及新聞。今集的訪談以廣東話進行。

Over the last two years, the state of the Covid-19 pandemic has shifted as we experienced multiple surges, new variants, and changing public health recommendations. These constant changes and the spread of Covid-19 misinformation have made accessing accurate and timely public health information a challenge, especially for limited English proficient Chinese immigrant community members. In this episode, we invited Dr. Lydia Leung, a Family Medicine Physician and Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, San Francisco, to share about the current state of the Covid-19 pandemic in the San Francisco Bay area.

移民議題在公共政策論述及新聞報道當中，很容易簡單地被理解成兩黨政治化的議題，簡化為冷冰冰的立法草案。受到移民政策影響的家庭以及他們的故事往往被主流忽視，只是被還原為一個個數字號碼。 推動移民體系改革的法案的路非常漫長，然而無數的移民家庭及社區依然繼續堅持，面對日常生活所帶來的挑戰，持續推動爭取移民改革。今天的節目延續上一集，繼續關注華裔無證移民社區，一群相對沈默的無證群體。 我們邀請了代表東岸紐約市的亞裔無證青年團體的代表Ru，希望通過她的移民故事及在美國的生活經驗，讓我們對無證移民社區有多一份的理解。這一集以普通話錄製。

Immigration is often seen as simply an increasingly partisan topic of debate in politics or news, but immigration is also felt on a deeply personal level in individual lives. Beyond the halls of Congress, where talks are ongoing to push for immigration reform, our communities must live with the day-to-day struggles of immigrant families. This episode is the second of our two part series focusing on the undocumented Chinese American community, which is often overlooked and made invisible in national conversations surrounding immigration. In this episode, Ru, a member of the New York based AAPI undocumented youth group RAISE, shares her personal migration story and lived experiences as an undocumented youth growing up in the US. This episode is in Mandarin.

近年來，移民議題經常成為美國國內政治的頭條新聞，熱門的公共討論話題之一。目前在美的華裔人口當中，有超過60% 是海外出生後移民來美的，所以移民政策對華裔社區至關重要。一連兩集，我們會邀請兩位華裔無證移民朋友去講述他們的故事--尤其是帶著華裔移民及無證的雙重身份。 今集，我們邀請到來自東岸紐約一個無證亞裔青年組織 RAISE 的其中一位成員 Jeff 來分享他的移民故事與及無證的身份如何影響他的人士軌跡。 我們亦會探討為何美國華裔社區相對較少討論無證移民議題及經驗的固中原因，另外華裔社區為何需要多關注移民改革。 今集以廣東話錄製。

In this episode, we invited Jeff, a member of the undocumented AAPI youth group RAISE, to share his immigration story and how being undocumented has impacted his life experiences.
