Honestly confused why media is endorsing 798. They claim to speak for local interests, but the only local business member they have on their proposal is the one who brokered the Walmart deal. How can they know what local businesses like us want if we're not represented?

[Avery Lin @LAImmLawyer18]

What kind of people would we be to use money earned from exploiting undocumented workers when they're part of the community we're trying to protect? We don't want it. #chtown18

[goldenmountain @goldenmountai12]

He confessed of his involvement with triad gangs to exploit undocumented labor to us during our last LACNA meeting. While LACNA members have all had different interests, we are united in our belief that unfair business practices have no place in our community.

@lacnahistoric1 @LacnaRetail @lacnarealty Myself, along with all other members of the Los Angeles Chinatown Neighborhood Association (LACNA) have decided to strip Mr. Li of his membership due to allegations of his involvement in triad activity as well as Laura's disappearance 1/2

[(Fictional) Daily Bruin @DailyBruin18]

BREAKING: Three people provide testimonies that Lucky Dragon is involved in triad activity and human trafficking of undocumented migrants in LA Chinatown, according to immigration lawyer Avery Lin. More to follow. #chtown18

[Karen Liu (LACNA Retail) @LacnaRetail]

I'm shocked and horrified at @waguanMrLi's possible involvement with Laura's disappearance. I vote to remove him from LACNA #chtown18

[AlexandraLopezForLA @LopezForLA]

The Mayor's office is doing whatever we can to support the immigrant community, help find the missing pieces to Laura's case, as well as do what is best for all of #LA.

@uocsajamielee @AndyChinatown @BusCouncilPres Isn’t this just repeating how Walmart had wronged the Chinatown community in 2013? #chtown18

@lacnarealty Not brokering a deal with Walmart #chtown18

[Karen Liu (LACNA Retail) @LacnaRetail]

It seems like the students are initiating the Twitter fights... As a community member, lately I've been a bit embarrassed by the immature behavior of students online. I hope everyone can communicate respectfully with each other #chtown18

[Jamie Lee @uocsajamielee]

Mmm...goals are fun! Actions are better! If you want productive discussion instead of twitter fights, our door is still open 🙃 #chtown18

[Lucy Chen @lucychen_CCED]

@uocsajamielee @uocsajamielee Activists are not pushing for "naive radical change!" Our goal is to strengthen the incredible community in Chinatown #chtown18

[Lucy Chen @lucychen_CCED]

@uocsajamielee How can your proposal be FOR the community that Laura cared so deeply about, if you wouldn't even come meet with us? #chtown18

[Karen Liu (LACNA Retail) @LacnaRetail]

We would like to endorse the current sitting City Council Members @JimmyCJenkins1 and @city_member for re-election! Excited to work with @JimmyCJenkins1 on future immigration projects and @city_member on pro-local business ventures! #chtown18

[Grace Lee @GraceLee_CCED]

Official statement from our coalition of community builders/organizers/advocates is out now! We're here for you all, & invite/encourage feedback. Please DM or email us with questions/comments/concerns. Open meeting tonight @ 9pm, UCAE.#chtown18

[Grace Lee @GraceLee_CCED]

🧐 so.... are we gonna ignore how by definition the inclusion of global companies precludes the inclusion of local businesses, which is the opposite of “serving locally” #chtown18

[lacnahistoric1 @lacnahistoric1]

check out https://t.co/j3NoO9B1He for a look at how smaller businesses were able to adapt to changing times in America. How can we help our local businesses and local communities in Chinatown? Come to our open discussion tonight to find out!

@lacnarealty I have already been in contact with @hsingamanda, who said they are pro-transnational :( #chtown18

[Karen Liu (LACNA Retail) @LacnaRetail]

Some of the regulars at my former shop were students, and I'm horrified and saddened by the news of the Simmons allegations. I'm glad that faculty are so ready to help students. #chtown18

[(Fictional) Daily Bruin @DailyBruin18]

Read: Full statement by faculty members to the Daily Bruin in response to Simmons allegations, calls for proposal withdrawal. #chtown18

[Grace Lee @GraceLee_CCED]

also, a friendly reminder that the Foundation is based out of the community.... need I remind y’all that this isn’t just about the students 👀 we welcome all community members but not if the conversation centers completely around one group #chtown18

[Karen Liu (LACNA Retail) @LacnaRetail]

[Grace Lee @GraceLee_CCED]

a lot of conversations around proposals are devolving into ad hominem attacks that have nothing to with the actual long term effects of these proposals - stay focused, everyone, we got this 🌟🌟 #chtown18
