Kicked off Sunday Funday with a park cleanup with @alliance_cpb at #sdrpark | stopped by @kkjnyc to celebrate #greekjewishfestival | finally back at HQ to launch Day of Action with @NewLeafDems! Grateful for my volunteers and staff who made each day run so smoothly. #teamsusan

On this #EarthDay2023 we celebrate our community and to continue to invest in our green spaces because they play a vital part in the social fabric of our lives. Thank you @alliance_cpb and #sdrparkalliance for organizing a wonderful event for #saradrooseveltpark

Thank you @umasianalliance for all you do for the Chinese community in Harlem. We need to fund more social services in marginalized communities that are culturally appropriate for the growing Chinese population in Harlem.

Upper Manhattan Asian American Alliance released this statement in response to the sentencing of Jarrod Powell who murdered Yao Pan Ma on 125th Street in Harlem. We are glad to see justice served & continue to advocate for our seniors in Harlem

Don’t let the data fool you! Violence against Asian women & seniors continues to rise. Oftentimes, they go unreported b/c many feel their attackers won’t be held accountable. We have to change that mindset and encourage our friends, family and neighbors to report these attacks.

Show up in support of safer communities for all New Yorkers, especially when the most vulnerable of us are targeted with hate and violence.

Chinatown is an underrepresented community.

We welcome more candidates who have shown up and will pledge to fight for us on all the real issues our businesses, our students, parents, elders, longtime residents care about, NOT agendas dictated to us.

Meeting people where they are at, is no longer working. These safe injection sites are magnets for open drug use and dealing. The surrounding neighborhoods are bearing the consequences. #keepourchildrensafe

Our community came together collectively to help asylum seekers at 231 Grand St. The 2 day necessities drive, @alliance_cpb collected over 20,000 articles of clothing, school supplies & toiletries. We couldn’t have done it without the generosity of our friends and neighbors.

Proud Boys in #NYC shout anti-Asian rhetoric on a #Chinatown street on Sat. #NYPD intervene. I’m angry they’re terrorizing my home community and my people. https://t.co/Lr4ZnNBYmg No place for hate. See close up photos in thread. Use Google translate for English. @NewYorkFBI

Please spread the word so locals & businesses keep a lookout, especially as the Lunar New Year is coming up.

[Susan Lee 李翠珊 @susanleenyc]

This happened in #chinatown and the only reason we know about it is because our local Chinese Newspaper @singtaodaily reported it. No mainstream media covered it. No electeds commented on this. #chinatown is constantly under attack and no one seems to care! #StopAsianHate

[Alliance for Community Preservation & Betterment @alliance_cpb]

[Susan Lee 李翠珊 @susanleenyc]

Since last week, @alliance_cpb has been working closely with management at 231 Grand Street to provide assistance to our new neighbors. We’ve collected several bags of gently used children and women’s clothes. Going forward, we will collect new clothes for donation. Please dm us.

Thank you @CrainsNewYork for this recognition. I am humbled to share this distinction with my fellow honorees. It’s been a tough couple of years for the AAPI community. Much work needs to be done and I know together, we can make New York a better place!

Heartfelt thank you to @GovKathyHochul for #DRI investment in #sdrpark and other public spaces in #chinatown | The renovated public space will be a green sanctuary for use by a multicultural and multigenerational neighborhood. @alliance_cpb 🎉🎊🙌🏼👏🏼

“As an Asian American woman, in light of the Asian hate crimes that have been happening all over the country, it is horrifying… someone tried to rape me, attacked me. And data shows that it likely is going to happen again. I’m shaking.” https://t.co/oqZEOD7N0g
