Attorney Andrew Leong, witnessed first hand in this election. Since Ute CNC is supposed to be a dcmocratlcttlly elected body which represents the intere~t of Chinatown and South Cove neighborhoods in the city's administration, I feel that it is important the election of its members is done in accordance with any legitimate exercise of the democratic process. J feel that the many violations J observed in the last CNC election makes participation in the political process a mockery. A. Yoter jdentlficatjpn was not check~ or adeqyat~y yerified: The biggest violation of fair election procedure we observed in the CNC election was that voter identification was not checked for a number of people. For example, Yon Lee from your office. Jet Wilson Lee of Dynasty Restaurant repeatedly "vouch" for several of his empJoyt'es. Wilson Lee also wrote a note certifying that a certain employee was a resident of Chinatown, and thil; same note was used by at least four other Dynasty employees to show their residence in Chinatown. On another occasion; we caught severld restaurant employees passing around the same Massachusetts driver•s license to show residency. When Von Lee was called upon hy individuals such a5 Wilwn Lee to intervene, Yon Lee would agree to waive any identification requirement for these particular voters. ·· B. Campais:n worker." ~re allowed to <llt:~!a voters wbo 12 vote for at th~ ~in~ booths: Another violation of fair election procedure we saw involved campaign workers accompanying voters into the voting area and voting booths. Under the CNC ele<.tion guidelines, voters were allowed to "bring in'' individuals to assist them in the voting exercise. The intent of that provision, l believe, was to enable people who are not familiar with the voting process, or people who are illiterate or otherwise handicapped to have the opportunity to participate in tb~ election process by having someone they choose to assist them. However, this rule wa.~ interpreted as allowing campaign workeu to assert their "assistance" on the voters and thereby influencing their vote. We observed 5 or 6 people whom we knew were campaign workers, such as Lucy Chan and Donald Wong, milling about in the voting area after "a.~sisting" a group of voters. They would often go up to a voter and insist on helpihg him or her without the voter's reque.r;;t. I saw these campaign workers marking the ballots for the voter several times and called them on it. However. I was then told by Yon Lee that was allowable under the guidelines. At other times, some of these campaign workers would bring in voters. whom they would give campaign literature, and tell them that was tbe sample ballot, and that they just need to copy the same cheeked numbers onto the official ballots. Since many of the voters were elderly or first time voter who were confused about the proper votin,c procedures, they would unknowingly follow the advise of the~;e campaign worker!'. ,•.c.· . I .

Cgnfidegtiality of the \)allots and prlyas;y at tbfi\ yot!ne booths: One other ml\lor problem we saw was that the ballots were not kept secret. There were no voting booths which one would expect io have at any official eJISctlon. At the CNC election, there were only several haphazardly formed partitions over a table where 3 or 4 voters were sometimes put into one cubby hole. Voters also were asked to vote on tht toller counter at the Shawmut Bank where the next person could be observing. Since there was no fortnal procedures regarding the setup of the voting areas In the CNC elev1ion guidelines. even though l observed that several voters copied ballots from one another, or individuals observed how another person voted, I did not have the authority to stop them. There was absolutely no }'lrivacy in the voting ar~ . which caused me serious concerns. These are just a few examples of the more egregious violation of generally accepted election procedures which I and Attorney Leong observed during the CNC elections. Since there were only two of us and we e<>uld not be everywhere at the same time and be constantly apprised of the tlituation. we do rot know how many other violation& of the election procedure occurred. As an attorney and a member of tile Bar, I know how important good procedure is to a fair and legitimate outcome. I understand that the CNC is an autonomous body, independent of the city administration. and hence outside of the jurisdiction of tho city. However. our past experience on a few issues affecting the Chinatown community demonstrated that the city recognized the CNC as a legitimate body representing the wishes of the community. I and other activists in the Chinatown community have serious concerns about the legitimacy of the CNC that was elected under a set of guidelines that is rampant with flaws.

  • Chinatown and Urban Redevelopment: a Spatial Narrative of Race, Identity, and Urban Politics 1950 – 2000
    CHINATOWN AND URBAN REDEVELOPMENT: A SPATIAL NARRATIVE OF RACE, IDENTITY, AND URBAN POLITICS 1950 – 2000 BY CHUO LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles, Chair Professor Dianne Harris Associate Professor Martin Manalansan Associate Professor Faranak Miraftab Abstract The dissertation explores the intricate relations between landscape, race/ethnicity, and urban economy and politics in American Chinatowns. It focuses on the landscape changes and spatial struggles in the Chinatowns under the forces of urban redevelopment after WWII. As the world has entered into a global era in the second half of the twentieth century, the conditions of Chinatown have significantly changed due to the explosion of information and the blurring of racial and cultural boundaries. One major change has been the new agenda of urban land planning which increasingly prioritizes the rationality of capital accumulation. The different stages of urban redevelopment have in common the deliberate efforts to manipulate the land uses and spatial representations of Chinatown as part of the socio-cultural strategies of urban development. A central thread linking the dissertation’s chapters is the attempt to examine the contingent and often contradictory production and reproduction of socio-spatial forms in Chinatowns when the world is increasingly structured around the dynamics of economic and technological changes with the new forms of global and local activities. Late capitalism has dramatically altered city forms such that a new understanding of the role of ethnicity and race in the making of urban space is required.

Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor's property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees.

Introduction The Towns of Yarmouth, Dennis, Orleans, Barnstable, and Falmouth (the “Towns”) are committed to increasing affordable housing rental opportunities for low-to-moderate income households. The Towns have developed a variety of innovative methods to encourage the creation and retention of scattered site rental housing, including by-law provisions for accessory apartments, shop-top housing, and various other zoning and housing incentives. And while committed to ensuring fair and open access to these affordable housing opportunities, the Towns understand that marketing efforts can sometimes be difficult and costly for smaller rental projects. In an effort to further facilitate affordable housing efforts, to ease the financial burden on developers, to ensure that marketing is performed efficiently and effectively by an experienced and qualified entity, and to make the application process for the low-to-moderate income households more streamlined, the following Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan (AFHMP) has been created. This Plan will result in a lotteried Ready Renter list serving affordable housing developments and affordable accessory apartments in the Towns, their residents, and the residents of Barnstable County and the Commonwealth.

    Volume 6, Number 2 May 2016 is APA Heritage Month! Spring 2016 Ed Gor: Have We Already Seen the Greatest Generation of Chinese Americans? Published almost 20 years ago, journalist and former NBC News broad- caster Tom Brokaw’s book, The Greatest Generation, chronicles what his parents’ generation—those born between 1910 and the mid-1920s— accomplished in youth and adulthood. From interviews and conversations with these women and men, he discusses the sacrifices those men and women made, the bodily harm and suffering in the war to end all wars, their remarkable diligence in building families and businesses, the cour- age they displayed in rehabilitating their physical and emotional war wounds, and the integrity of character and commitment to values that in- fused their lives. As they continued to stare down life’s challenges, they never griped or complained even as their lives were mixed with courage and perseverance, tragedy and sadness, and triumphs and miracles. Entering our 121st year of service, Chinese American Citizens Alliance continues to look ahead at how we see our role in this country by looking back at our history as an organization challenged to address society’s treatment and place for Chinese in the 1890’s. Our Archive Project to gather, categorize, and turn over our recorded history to the Stanford University Libraries remains a major undertaking. Just look for the stories of the Chinese who worked on the Transcontinental Railroad. You won’t find many names or photographs, but you can find their stories written on walls or artwork. We believe that within our own records, there may be documentation linking many C.A.C.A.

Suryadewi E. Nugraheni, MD, MA University at Albany, State University of New York, Albany, New York, United States https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0330-2835 Julia F. Hastings, PhD, MSW University at Albany, State University of New York, Albany, New York, United States https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2262-2279 Contact: [email protected] Abstract Asian American family caregivers have gained increased attention due to the need to provide life-sustaining aid at home given the rising numbers of older adults. This article reflects upon caregiving-related research studies that have overlooked the circumstances Asian American caregivers bring to the home-care context. Policies written to address community needs tend to omit the social circumstances many Asian American caregivers must face when trying to take advantage of programs and services. For example, the eligibility requirements fail to recognize distinctive cultural values embedded within the caregiving processes. Further, most Asian American data is aggregated. Aggregating data by ethnicity limits an accurate portrayal of social circumstances. The health effects developed from caregiving demands tend to remain unaddressed and the distribution of goods and essential services generally does not reach many home-based Asian American caregivers in need. This text examines a within-group perspective to uncover sociocultural dimensions influencing caregiving. Different perspectives include those of government and community agencies, research institutions, and data-driven websites (e.g., U.S.

As a young student in Beijing, Harry Wu was arrested for expressing counter- revolutionary opinions during the anti-rightist campaign of 1957. In I960, Wu, as a political prisoner, was inducted into China's clandestine system of forced labor camps, the laogai. For nineteen years he was placed in more than twelve different camps in northern China, manufacturing chemicals, mining coal, constructing prison buildings, and working in rice fields and fruit orchards. During these years he was beaten, tortured, and starved. Several times, close to death himself, Wu witnessed the death of many fellow inmates from brutality and starvation and by suicide, he was released from the Laogai in 1979.
