顧雅明背書黃敏儀競選20選區市議員
紐約市議員顧雅明今(21)日宣布背書黃敏儀競選第20選區市議員。他讚揚黃敏儀自哥大法學院畢業後選擇投身公共服務的熱忱，以及15年來在不同層級政府機關累積的經驗，呼籲選民在6月23日的初選中投票支持黃敏儀。
顧雅明表示，自己很高興看到許多不同背景與專長的候選人參與第20選區的市議員競選，卻也擔心因選票分散，導致抱持極端主張的候選人勝出。
顧雅明說：「小商業是紐約市的骨幹，在法拉盛更是如此，在這場前所未見的公共衛生危機當中，紐約市所有的小商業都苦撐著，我們的小商家受到疫情的嚴重衝擊，非常需要政府的紓困與援助。下一任的市議員必須了解小商業對社區的價值，並且願意盡其所能地幫助他們。」
顧雅明表示：「支持年輕一代參與競選，是我們的責任。我們的社區需要更多新血加入公共服務。」
顧雅明指出，黃敏儀是一個良好的傾聽者，願意在不同團體間搭建橋樑，而不是圍牆。因此，她可以獲得背景與主張不同民選官員與團體的支持。
顧雅明提醒選民充分利用今年起採用的排名複選投票制(Ranking Choice Voting)，讓選票的影響極大化，避免抱持極端主張的候選人當選。
黃敏儀感謝顧雅明的支持。她說，自己將在顧雅明建立的基礎上，持續改善社區的生活品質。此外，她會將優先推動小商業局雇用不同語言專長的外展人員，對於初次不危害公共安全與市民健康的違規，以警告代替處罰。
黃敏儀說：「我會繼續向顧雅明議員與小商家請益，確保作為社區骨幹的小商業從疫情中復甦，再創繁榮。」
紐約華裔婦女總商會會長徐朱劉弟、法拉盛商家代表莊振輝、楊若若、Betsy Mak等人也到場背書支持。

Council Candidates Sandra Ung, Richard Lee and Linda Lee Host "Stand With Our Youth" Rally in Response to Bowne Playground Hate Incident
On Tuesday, a young 13-year old boy was attacked in Bowne Playground. His tormentors shoved him to the ground, took turns throwing a basketball at his head and said "Stupid f_ing Chinese. Go back to your country" before running off.
In response to this and a string of hate crimes occurring both in the Flushing community and around the country, Council Candidates Richard Lee (District 19), Sandra Ung (District 20), and Linda Lee (District 23) co-hosted a "Stand with Our Youth" rally at Bowne Playground on Union Street and Barclay Avenue. Together with nearly a hundred members from the community, the three Council candidates called for unity and solidarity with the victims of hate crimes.
Richard Lee, candidate in District 19, said, "This week we witnessed not only the tragedy in Atlanta, but right here in our community, a 13 year old boy was attacked simply because he is Asian American. Right now, I'm feeling grief, anger, fear, and frustration, but most importantly, I'm heartbroken because our children are being subjected to the same attacks we were when we were young. We must stand together as a community to stop this hate and come together as one community."
Sandra Ung, candidate in District 20, said, "My heart goes out to the victim and his family, and to all those who have been the victims of hate crimes. Nobody, but least of all our children, should be subjected to abuse like this. Nobody should have to fear leaving their house, walking on the street or playing basketball in a local playground. Asian Americans have a rich history both in the United States and here in Flushing. When discussing these events with Richard and Linda, we decided that it was important to stand together as a community and declare that there is no place for hate here, that we and the entire AAPI community belong here."
Linda Lee, candidate in District 23, said, "The past week has been a horrifying ordeal for the AAPI community. On top of a year of historic violence and hate directed against our community, Asian women were killed in Atlanta simply because of their race and gender. We cannot accept racism in our country, and we cannot be afraid to come report harassment when we see it. I'm calling on all New Yorkers not to be bystanders but active participants in eliminating racism from our city."
After the three candidates spoke, local youths Edison Chang and Annie Yi took to the podium. Edison denounced racism against Asians and discussed his own feelings of frustration when seeing the news.
Annie Yi, a student from Townsend Harris, began speaking by listing the names of the victims of the Georgia shootings and asked listeners to keep their names in their memory. Annie discussed the role of misogyny in the media's portrayals of the Georgia shooting and noted that many media outlets ascribed the shooter's motivations to "sexual addiction" without recognizing that misogyny and racism dehumanize Asian women.
When the speakers finished, Linda, Richard and Sandra joined with their fellow community members to use chalk and write messages alongside the playground wishing the victim well. Many messages also expressed solidarity with the AAPI community, and the local community's hopes for a brighter future.
