Chinese-American Planning Council Statement on Presidential Election
New York, NY – Since our founding in 1965, there have been 11 Presidents and only one Chinese-American Planning Council. We have been a constant for six decades.
Yesterday's Presidential election will affect the day-to-day lives of New Yorkers. The President will determine policies on racial justice, immigration reform, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, health care, education, economic opportunity, social safety net, and so much more. We know from President Trump's previous administration that he intends to target the most marginalized New Yorkers, the very communities that CPC serves and empowers.
More than ever, we intend to continue serving our community members and fighting for policies and budgets that uplift AAPI and communities of color, immigrants, and low-income New Yorkers. Regardless of who is the President, CPC and our subsidiary organizations will be there for our community members and staff. We will continue to lead with our organizational values – we are our community, we embrace our community, and we empower our community. Our values are how we serve and advocate, how we center our diverse community members, and how we support our diverse staff.
We will remain a safe, inclusive, equitable space for all community members and staff. We will remain a trusted partner for all community members, especially those who are undocumented, LGBTQ+, speakers of languages other than English, with disabilities, living with HIV/AIDS, and low-income. We will ensure that staff of all racial, ethnic, gender, immigrant, sexual orientation, ability, and language backgrounds are valued. We will provide a safe space for community members and staff of all backgrounds and beliefs to be supported. We will hold decision makers accountable not only to understanding our community’s needs but also to passing policies, funding, and programs to support our staff and community members. We will stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies in the fight to ensure our community members can thrive.
華人策劃協會關於總統選舉的聲明
紐約，紐約 – 自1965年成立以來，我們經歷了11位總統，但只有一個華人策劃協會。六十年來，我們始終如一。
昨天的總統選舉將影響紐約市民的日常生活。總統將決定種族正義、移民改革、生育權利、LGBTQ+權益、醫療保健、教育、經濟、社會保障網等多方面的政策。根據特朗普總統此前執政的經驗，我們知道他意圖針對紐約市最邊緣化的社區，也正是華策會服務和賦權的社區。
我們在這個關鍵時刻，更堅定地繼續服務社區成員，爭取有助於提升亞裔、有色人種、移民和低收入紐約市民的政策和預算。無論總統是誰，華人策劃協會及我們的附屬機構始終為我們的社區成員和員工提供支援。我們將繼續秉持我們的組織價值觀——我們是社區的一部分，我們支持社區，我們賦予社區力量。我們的價值觀體現在我們如何服務和倡導，以社區內各種族成員為重心，並且支持來自不同背景的員工。
我們將繼續為所有社區成員和員工提供一個安全、包容，和公平的空間。我們將繼續成為所有社區成員值得信賴的合作夥伴，尤其是無證移民、LGBTQ+人士、非英語母語人士、殘障人士、愛滋病患者和低收入者。我們將確保所有種族、族裔、性別、移民背景、性取向、能力和語言背景的員工都受到重視。我們將為所有背景和信仰的社區成員和員工提供支援和安全的空間。我們將要求決策者不僅了解我們社區的需求，還要推動政策、提供資金和計劃來支持我們的員工和社區成員。我們將與盟友攜手合作，確保社區成員獲得更好的發展機會。
