2018的开年,美国各地就经历了少有的严寒。川普政府强烈支持的,1月10日,以名为《捍卫美国未来》(Securing Americas Future Act of 2018)的移民改革法案,以绝杀亲属移民为首。该法案提出在2019年全部取消美国公民的父母、美国公民的成年孩子、美国公民的兄弟姐妹、绿卡配偶以及孩子的移民类别。对于大多数依靠家庭移民的华人来说,将造成重大冲击。

有鉴于此,全美各地华人开始行动,旨在2月10号投票表决前通过各种方式阻止参众两院议员投赞成票。华人里的参政行动积极分子首先撰写和制作了音频敦促广大华人给议员们写email和打电话。(后附模版)

在东西海岸发起2月3日的响应式游行。俄亥俄的三个以字母C开头的重要城市的华人也积极组织响应。成立了各地的反对砍亲属移民游行微信群。

尽管支持不同党派的华人仍有不同意见,可是大部分人还是参与行动,献计献策!只有团结在一起,华人的声音才会被听到,华人做的贡献才会被看到,最终华人才会真正成为其中一分子。

#写email给议员的模板1(志愿者Yanzi提供):

Dear Senator/congressman/congresswomen_______,

Im writing in opposition to the proposed cuts to family migration that are presently being discussed in Washington. Recent efforts to rename family migration "chain migration," an altogether scarier sounding name that suggests that families are somehow a burden to America, should be rejected outright for the racism it is. Strong families are not, and never will be, a burden on our nation or its peoples.

Family values are the moral bedrock of our immigrant nation. The recent efforts to undermine legal family migration to our great land are a two-pronged attack on the values that built the United States of America into the nation we love today. Nowhere in the Bible nor any other text of any world religion will you find support for dividing families. Doing so is universally regarded to be a monstrous act.

No man or woman should ever have to choose between their loyalty to the United States of America and caring for their family. To force such a choice, as is being proposed in Washington, is an assault on the dignity of first generation Americans and an attack on the moral compass of every American you represent.

Please stand with us in rejecting these racist and immoral attacks on American family values aimed at our newest and most vulnerable American residents and citizens.

Signed,

(Your name)
