美国麻州春田市议会全票通过决议,正式认可春节为每年庆祝的节日

Springfield, Massachusetts, has made a historic move by officially recognizing Lunar New Year as an annual city-supported holiday. The Springfield City Council, led by Council President Mike Fenton, unanimously passed this resolution on January 29, 2024, making Springfield the fourth city in the United States to do so, following similar announcements by California, New York, and Boston in 2023. This decision not only celebrates Lunar New Year but also honors the contributions of the Chinese community in Springfield, Massachusetts, and across the United States. The resolution means Springfield will now officially celebrate Lunar New Year with community events each year, highlighting the city’s commitment to embracing and respecting diverse cultures.

通过”护异寻同”和联盟推动华人社区发展

美国是一个自由民主的国家。独立思考,言论自由是每个人受宪法保护的,不可被剥夺的权利。不同思想、观点、立场并存是人类社会的自然现象,也是必然的,健康的,正常的。不同的思想、观点会为人类提供解决问题的新思路,避免我们陷入僵化、保守的思维格局,具有推动社会进步和人类发展的积极意义。思想的多元化与文化和种族的多元化一样,是人文世界最精彩的组成部分,它反映了社会的进步与繁荣,也让人类互相尊重,共同发展。因此,美国政治中保护不同意见是首要的。这就是“护异”。
