For a Chinese  version of this e-newsletter, click on https://goo.gl/6GsJWe The Triple Threat The 1st Threat: When the White House's "National Security Strategy" (12/2017) and the DoD's "National Defense Strategy" (2/2018) were published, announcing America's return to BIG power politics and naming China as our top strategic competitor, and when both documents accuse China of doing bad things - the fate of Chinese Americans (ChAms) and AsAms was sealed - expect collateral damage in careers, dignity and personal safety.        Why? Because most people mix China and Chinese as one, and they can't tell the difference between Chinese, ChAms and AsAms. The 2nd Threat - COVID-19:  20+ million workers lost their jobs.  The daily deaths rate is 2000+.  Dirty politicians tried to assign blame to China for the terrible consequences that we are bearing.    Remember that Vincent Chin was killed by 2 unemployed auto workers? Xenophobia will come alive on the streets, when the "stay at home" orders are lifted, when a lot of people are back on the street.   The 3rd Threat - Dirty Politicians:  NY Times reported yesterday:  "A Key G.O.P. Strategy: Blame China."  Do people draw a clear line between China/Chinese/Ch-Ams/or AsAms?  You think about it.                                              UNITY will be our Savior           Effective politics for a minority to protect itself In the U.S. depends almost exclusively on power. If we unite, then we'll have more money, votes, voices and leadership, which add up to POWER.                                           UNITY is very hard to achieve.      We all love unity.  However, have YOU PERSONALLY ever pressed the leaders of your organization(s) to work together with other AsAm orgs. or at least form a loose or temporary coalition?  Why didn't you, although YOU know it is good for you and your children.        I know why.  I've been plugging for unity for decades, without success.  To unite, YOU, your leaders and followers must SACRIFICE ego, money, organizational assets in email addresses, ..., etc. & YOUR COMFORT ZONE.      Are YOU willing to sacrifice in order to achieve UNITY now?  Will YOU send an email or make a phone call to leaders of your org(s), urging them to work together with other orgs. of our community, at least during this threatening time?                                                 A Solemn 80-20 Pledge           80-20 EF and SuperPAC solemnly pledge that we'll work as a cementing component of any reasonably agreed upon coalition or temporary coalition.   We'll not look for leadership.  We'll share our huge email list and significant endowment for the protection of our community's rights, dignity and other welfare.     Post your views here.      Donate.

For a Chinese  version of this e-newsletter, click on https://goo.gl/6GsJWe      I'm delighted to have very positive news to report to you.  I also hope that you will exercise enlightened self-interest to donate to those who are hungry. (1) A very strong press release by V.P. Biden on "Incidents of Racism Against        Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders"              "...it's clear that we need a president who demonstrates the leadership to          address every aspect of this pandemic - including the spate of racist incidents             targeting AsAms and Pacific Islanders - with urgency and seriousness." (2) A 1':21" Video of NY Mayor Bill de Blasio's Speech, vowing to punish hate       crime.        He also thanked AsAms working in the front line fighting against COVID-19 &/or        helping to distribute food to the needy, including the 16 million newly        unemployed.   (3) The doubling of COVID-19 related deaths rate in the U.S. has increased from       3 days to 5 days.  Click here to see it for yourself.  It is very positive news.  That        is, the cumulative deaths in the US may still increase but the number of daily        deaths is not likely to increase much any more.  (4) The NY Times reported:        Most New York Coronavirus Cases Came From Europe, Genomes Show.  The above tells us that virus knows no borders. The whole world is being infeicted by COVID-19 and we must fight it together as one people. It is humanity against the virus. (5) DONATE! Helping Others Is Often the BEST Way To Help Ourselves.       A NY Times article reports: 'Never Seen Anything Like It': Cars Line Up for        Miles at Food Banks'.  "... Millions are flooding a charitable system that was never intended to handle a nationwide crisis...."                 Should we help? YES! Put ourselves in the position of the 16 million newly unemployed persons. Will we feel "food insecure" and also line up at the food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens, .., etc. Indeed, there could be real hunger in many families. Feeding America is one of the largest of such operations.         To DONATE to Feeding America, Click here.  I just donated $1080.20 through Woo's Foundation.  Please work in 80-20 in your donation.  Other examples are $180.20, $80.20 and $8.02.   Will the Treasurer of Feeding America, who may receive hundreds to thousands of such donations, be curious?  Perhaps.  Will he/she make a newsworthy inquiry?  I don't know.  I do know that we should donate to help our fellow Americans out.  :-) Each item above, whether informational or action-related, is a proactive measure. Each is selected to help decrease street violence against AsAms, AFTER the "stay at home" order is lifted.  So spread this e-mail far & wide, BEFORE the crisis explods.
