UCA Denounces Florida SB 264 and HB 1355 and Calls for Support for Protest Rallies in Multiple Florida Cities this Saturday, April 29, 2023.
United Chinese Americans (UCA), a leading national coalition of Chinese Americans, calls on Chinese Americans across the country Right Now to be galvanized and support the rallies against discrimination tomorrow morning in Gainesville, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tallahassee, Tampa and Miami, organized by Florida Asian American Justice Alliance (FAAJA) and supported by many Floridan Chinese American organizations, including UCA and UCA Action. For more information, please check https://www.faaja.org or contact Jin at faaja.org@gmail.com.
UCA denounces the blatantly discriminatory bill SB 264 which passed the Florida Senate last week. UCA calls for each and every Chinese American anywhere in the country to immediately extend a helping hand to our community in distress in Florida. You can join the rallies in person, or you can talk to your friends in Florida, Chinese or non-Chinese, to show up at the rallies, or to ask them to contact their state representatives and other elected officials to vote No to the equally discriminatory HB 1355, which may be voted on in the House next week.
If SB 264 and HB 1355 ever become law in Florida, Chinese nationals buying or selling real estate property in Florida will not only be banned, their property forfeited, but they will also be criminally prosecuted by the Florida government. The haunting spectre of the notorious Chinese Exclusion Act and Alien Land Laws will return as reality in 21st century. Should such bills become law, UCA is ready to work with other organizations to go to court to stop it; UCA will also support any effort by the Chinese community in Florida to repeal such laws.
Our community is under attack. We must stand up and fight back. This is our country, this is our moment, and this is the beginning of the Chinese American Civil Rights Movement.
