Dear honorable guests and all my fellow Chinese friends, Ladies, and Gentleman,

Good morning! Thank you for joining our rally and supporting us at this crucial time. Chinese Americans are facing discrimination again after one hundred forty years. TX governor Abbott wanted to ban Chinese Americans from owning properties in Texas by passing SB 147 and SB 552. Chinese Americans have to prove their citizenship if they want to buy properties. This is blatant discrimination based on race, which violates the American constitution.

We must stand in solidarity to protest these discriminatory bills. We need to stand up, speak out, and fight back! Only by doing so can the legislators hear our voices, feel our concerns, and see our determination to oppose these two bills. We must remember to use our voting power to vote out those racist officials to realize our American dream truly because We will be on the menu if we are not at the table.

On behalf of the Asian Americans Leadership Council, I want to thank our elected officials for attending today’s march and supporting our effort in this battle for fairness and justice.I want to thank our organizing committee leaders and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to prepare this march and rally in just one week. I also thank over 40 organizations for supporting us by standing with us. I want further thank friends from Austine and Dallas for coming all the way to support us. Let’s stand hand in hand in solidarity to oppose the two racist bills.

Thank you!
