燭光悼念晚會緊急通知
哀悼死者 團結抗議族裔歧視仇恨犯罪

The March 16th shootings in Atlanta left 8 killed, 6 of whom were Asian women. This senseless act of violence left Asian communities across the U.S. devastated, and many paralyzed with fear.  

Times like this call for unity. The Chinese Service Center at St. Louis and Chinese Education and Culture Center call on our STL Asian American partner organizations, community members, and allies, to join us in a vigil at 7-8pm on Saturday, 03/20/2021, in the parking lot of 6710 Clayton Road, Richmond Height.  Together we will stand united in mourning of the lives lost, offer condolences to the victims and their families, and reaffirm our condemnation of anti-Asian violence and hate in the strongest language possible.  


This is a public event and we are working with local authorities, including Richmond Heights police and city council to discuss logistics and safety measures.  Please follow protocols on mask wearing and social distancing if you will be in attendance. 

聖路易各華裔、亞裔社區組織和朋友們,大家好!

前天在亞特蘭大發生了槍殺8人,其中包括6位亞裔女性的特大凶殺案以後,亞裔社區無比悲傷和憤慨。加上近期紐約、加州也發生了一系列針對亞裔的犯罪活動,此類針對亞裔的事件日益猖獗,亞裔人心惶惶,擔心社區和個人安全。

在這個時候,我們聖路易華助中心、聖路易中華教育文化中心聯合社區其他亞裔及少數裔社區組織決定在本週六,3月20日晚7:00-8:00開始,在位於6710 Clayton Road,Richmond Height的聖路易現代中文學校停車場舉行燭光集會,悼念無辜逝去的生命,呼籲社會廣泛關注針對亞裔的犯罪,團結全美人民向仇恨和犯罪宣戰!

我們將與美國華人聯合會(UCA)在Zoom現場連線,屆時我們的集會將與全國各地華裔、亞裔和少數裔共同展開悼念行動。希望通過這次燭光集會能在全美各個大中城市展開一次悼念晚會,為亡靈哀悼,向生者祈福,與仇恨宣戰!

我們希望您能參與到這次集會中來,並把消息轉發到您的組織和群體,謝謝週六見!

注意事項:疫情期間請大家注意戴口罩,保持社交距離。活動將在公共停車場舉行,屆時請注意過往車輛安全。另外我們已經向當地市政府提交了集會申請,如果有變動,我們將及時通知大家。
