亞特蘭大水療按摩院槍擊事件一週年之際，我們呼籲反思與行動

在2021年3月16日，包括6名亞裔女性按摩工人在内的8個人，在亞特蘭大都會區三所水療按摩院被殺害。在我們紀念這場悲劇的一週年之際，我們對受害人、倖存者和她們的家人致敬。 我們將她們的治癒、護理和平安置於我們紀念的中心位置。 我們對當地和全國社區在過去一年中以受害人和倖存者的家人為中心的無私奉獻和關懷心存感激。

我們一直把那些最直接受影響的人放於中心位置，將他們與關鍵服務聯繫起來，並為受害人和她們的家人籌款。對於我們更廣泛的社區，我們繼續通過在我們長輩的傳統找到啓發來繼續照顧治癒的過程。我們亦會繼續提倡能應對暴力和仇恨根源的政策和解決方案，這樣我們所有人都能生活在安全的社區中。

當我們不僅在亞特蘭大水療按摩院槍擊案之後，而且在喬治亞州及其他地區針對亞裔美國人的持續暴力、厭女症和種族主義時，我們一直緊抱我們社區的成員，因為我們正在喪失、悲痛和創傷中前行。最近數週内，高慧民(Michelle Alyssa Go)和李允娜 

(Christine Yuna Lee，音譯)在紐約市被殘酷殺害，這事件重新喚起了亞裔和亞裔美國婦女和女性化者 (femmes)的驚慌與焦慮，因為她們每每是基於性別和種族的歧視與暴力的受害者。在新墨西哥州的 阿爾伯克基(Albuquerque,NM)，兩名亞裔按摩師在亞洲水療中心發生搶劫案時被殺， 這加劇了亞裔美國人和移民小商業東主的恐慌。

這些顯而易見的悲劇同時讓我們注意到我們社區最弱勢的成員在白人至上主義、厭女症和帝國主義的夾擊之下所面對的日常經歷：美國在亞洲和太平洋地區的軍國主義存在所打造的種族和性剝削；由此造成的地緣政治動蕩迫使人口遷移；將移民、按摩工人 和性工作者刑事化的體制的日常恐懼；住房和財務不安全；以及移民、低工資、服務工人每天面對的持續虐待和危險情況。

為了治癒，我們必須與這些事實作鬥爭，並將白人至上主義和厭女症視為暴力和仇恨根源。要做到這一點， 需要我們抱有令人不適的雙重性。它意味著承認痛苦和恐懼，這些痛苦和恐懼的認知促使一些受害者和社區人士呼籲採取監禁類的解決方案，例如增加警察的存在、仇恨犯罪立法，以及其他形式的懲罰；並與此同時質問這些反應如何以公共安全之名定義刑事化之實和造成傷害。

要更好地與真相作鬥爭亦意味直面我們亞裔美國人社區内的反黑人現象。我們不能讓亞特蘭大 槍擊事件的悲劇成為擴大執法力度和為此對黑人社區造成不成比例影響的正當理由。相反地，我們受到啓發，與我們的黑人、原住民、拉丁族、阿拉伯裔和太平洋島民盟友們一起， 去為我們社區重塑正義、治癒、愛和希望會是什麼樣子。

在過去的一年裏，隨著更多民眾懷著悲傷走在一起和投身於種族變革，我們目睹了街頭上、 公園中和社區中心迴響著社區關懷、賦權和團結的信息和行動。

在一起，我們承諾共同努力，投身於超越白人至上主義和反黑人的壓逼性界限，並建立可持續的關懷社 區。我們可以應對種族主義和基於性別的暴力的受害人的需求，並與此同時向我們的民選官員問責，要他們製定以我們社區為中心的政策。這包括投資於社區為本組織；這些組織經常往往站在前線，使用他們的語言給予受害人、倖存者和弱勢社區提供關顧，並對其文化、生計和移民身份保持敏感度。我們的民選領袖必須為受害者家人和倖存者提供長期的投資和資 源，使他們能度過眼前的難關和等待危機消退；使他們能獲得受害者賠償基金、充分資助預防暴力和修復式司法計劃，以及專注公共衛生和教育的公共基礎設施和機構 。

携手一起，我們便能夠以更加强力的方式奮鬥，為社區安全與療癒、為種族和經濟正義、 為穩定的住房、為得到包括精神健康在内的高質素醫療保健、為教育和生活工資、為投票權 利、組織權利，也為我們鄰里的藝術和美麗。 在這個週年紀念日之際，我們緬懷被奪去的生 命和失去了至親仍在掙扎的家庭, 並且我們重新承諾，要為所有社區擴大與深化我們的關 懷社區，自亞特蘭大開始，然後擴展至全美國和世界。
