    CHINATOWN AFTER SEPTEMBER 11TH: An Economic Impact Study An Interim Report Asian American Federation of New York April 4, 2002 In Collaboration With: Federal Reserve Bank of New York Fiscal Policy Institute Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, University of California, Los Angeles The views expressed in this report are those of the Asian American Federation and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Federal Reserve System, the Fiscal Policy Institute, or the Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies, UCLA. CHINATOWN After September 11th FOREWORD Nearly seven months after September 11th, New Yorkers of all backgrounds continue to feel the pains of the unfortunate loss of life while we work hard to heal our wounds and rebuild our city. The impact of September 11th has certainly been pervasive beyond words, as has been the outpouring of heroism and philanthropy demonstrated by so many ordinary people, uniformed as well as civilian, during these trying times. All of us at the Asian American Federation pay our respects to those who have lost or given their lives, offer our best wishes to those families who have endured the tragedy, and salute the fine spirit of New York. The lingering aftermath of September 11th is deeply felt in neighborhoods close to Ground Zero, including Chinatown. During the first three months after September 11th, stories abounded about the desperation of many low-wage workers who became unemployed and the resolution of many small business owners who worried about their firms’ prospects.

  • February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump the White House United States of America
    February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump The White House United States of America Dear President Trump, Since the founding of this country, science has been fundamental to the advancement of sound policy and economic prosperity and innovation. Science improves the lives of Americans, stimulates our economy, advances our understanding of our world, and protects us and our families from harm. As you select advisors that will help you to draft a blueprint for American policy, we urge you to make appointing a Science Advisor an immediate priority. Science is in the DNA of the United States. It plays an integral part in our nation's security, economic growth, public health, and infrastructure. Appointing a Science Advisor quickly will enable the Administration to maximize investments in science and develop a strategic plan that secures America’s leadership in science. The Science Advisor will assist your administration in driving innovation, and provide scientifically sound solutions to the pressing issues facing our nation today; including updating deteriorating infrastructure, combatting health epidemics, providing clean air and water, and securing valuable natural resources and minerals. Appointing a Science Advisor is a smart investment for our nation and for keeping our position as a scientific leader globally. Due to the integral role of the Science Advisor, we urge you to appoint an individual with a strong scientific background who understands the rigorous scientific method, the need for evidence-based science, and who can leverage the collaborative nature of the scientific community and the value of scientific research in shaping America’s future. As supporters of science, we urge you to work with our scientific organizations as you commence the selection process and the important task of advancing America’s scientific enterprise.

THE FIRST ASIAN AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL SCREENED JUST 42 FILMS IN 1978. TODAY 40 YEARS LATER AAIFF SCREENS CLOSE TO 100 TITLES FROM NEARLY 30 COUNTRIES OVER TEN DAYS IN JULY. PHOTOS COURTESY OF (L) CORKY LEE AND (R) LIA CHANG. THE ANNUAL ASIAN AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (AAIFF) is New York’s leading showcase for the Asian American and Asian independent cinema. Presented by Asian CineVision (ACV), the AAIFF is the first and longest-running festival in the U.S. to showcase the moving image work by artists of Asian descent and about the Asian American experience. AAIFF premiered in the seminal summer of 1978 at the Henry Street Settlement in New York City. Ed Koch had been elected mayor, the first cellular mobile phone is introduced, serial killer David Berkowitz, “Son of Sam,” is convicted of murder, GREASE, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS were the blockbusters of their day. Forty years later, the AAIFF has grown to include films and video from more than 30 coun- tries, answering a growing need for social understanding, cultural diversity in American life, and independent cinema. AAIFF has played a vital role in discovering and nurturing such acclaimed talent as Oscar Award winners Ang Lee, Jessica Yu, Steven Okazaki, Ruby Yang and Chris Tashima; Os- car Award nominees Christine Choy and Rene Tajima-Pena, Frieda Lee Mock, Arthur Dong, Zhang Yimou; and mainstream entertainment directors Wayne Wang, Mira Nair, and Justin Lin.
