1. Asian lives matter. Black lives matter. It took an elderly 84-year-old man, Thai, a grandfather, to get murdered for people to be aware. It took six Asian women massacred and murdered for people to care. What else is it going to take? When are we going to see change? When are we going to wake up? And it’s so painful that so much of the attacks and violence had come from people of color. You know, it’s so painful, because we’re in this fight together.
2. Do you know what was the most heartbreaking thing that waspart of all of the things that were shown in media? It was those 9-1-1 calls when those women tried to call for help and nobody on the other end could understand what they were saying. It broke my heart because it sounded like my own mom. It sounded like people Iknew, my constituents, when they're asking my office for help. And our agencies, our government, the people who workfor us, they should also speak our language. And until we have language access, until we have resources, that I don't want to seemore police.
亚裔的生命很重要。黑人的生命很重要。一位84岁的老人,泰国人,一位老爷爷,被人谋杀了,人们才意识到。六名亚裔妇女被屠杀被谋杀,人们才开始关心。还要付出什么代价呢?我们什么时候才能看到改变?我们什么时候才能醒悟过来?而令人感到如此心痛的是,许多的攻击和暴力来自有色人种。你知道,如此的令人心痛,因为我们在这场战斗中应是并肩一起的。
媒体上曝光的所有事情中,有一件最令人心碎的事情,你知道是什么吗?就是那些9-1-1电话,当那些妇女试图呼救时,另一端的人却听不懂她们在说什么。这伤碎了我的心,因为听起来像我自己的妈妈。听起来像我认识的人,我的选民,当他们向我的办公室寻求帮助。而我们的机构,我们的政府,人民的公仆,他们也应该说我们的语言。直到我们有语言上的通道,直到我们获得资源,我不希望再看到警察。
