Wallmart recognizes the impact its past presence in LA Chinatown has had on the community. Because of this, we support the proposal that will right these wrongs and empower local business in Chinatown. We are partnering with LACNA and to support LACNA4LAURA #chtown19
This proposal allows Chinatown residents the space to self-determine how best to create jobs, grow their economy, and also promote and preserve their culture. Wallmart thinks that this proposal is a worthy investment for the wellbeing of the LA Chinatown. (3/3) #chtown19
Wallmart wants to voice its support for the Yelin Laura Song Market, a proposal that would best commemorate Laura’s legacy and celebrate the vitality of LA Chinatown. The proposal would benefit local business in Chinatown while also promoting the rich history, culture, and (1/3)
heritage of the place that Laura represented and sought to preserve. Wallmart also believes that this is the best use of the land formerly occupied by our downtown LA store, as it recognizes the impact the store had on local business. (2/3)
Very excited to hear proposals for the Laura Song Foundation today! Wallmart will be looking for the proposal that best meets the needs of Chinatown residents and their business! #chtown19
This past week has been tumultuous to say the least. However, we must stay strong, and focus on our mission at hand -- honoring Laura and Mayor Maria's memory. With that, I'm happy to announce that @EugeneLiLA will be joining the committee. #chtown19

Wallmart understands the grievances of the LA Chinatown residents. We have a corporate responsibility to ensure that the land formerly occupied by our store is used to benefit Chinatown residents and their business. #chtown19
Wallmart is deeply saddened by the tragic lost of Laura Song. We will be donating the tract of land formerly occupied by our downtown LA store to the Yelin Laura Song Foundation in hopes that it will be used to revitalize Chinatown and honor Laura's lasting legacy. #chtown19
