KAC Mixer로 초대합니다!
2017년 3월 2일 (목) 6시 - 8시 반, Cafe Bleu에서 2017년 첫 Mixer event를 진행합니다! 이번 Mixer에서는 오랫동안 KAC를 서포트 해주신 분들과 인사하고 다가오는 지방 선거를 맞아 유권자 등록도 함께 할 예정이니 아직 등록하지 못한 지인들과 함께 오셔서 좋은 시간 보내세요! Invitation from the Executive Director As President Donald Trump was being sworn into the highest office in our land on Inauguration Day, in an interview with SBS, I was asked the question, "Should we be fearful of his presidency?" My answer was, "No", While many of his policies are concerning, we simply do not have time for fear. On the contrary, KAC believes that this is an opportunity for our community to mobilize and build a viable voice. I went on to explain that Donald Trump became President, because he utilized the systems and processes that exist for all of us here in this country. And though we may disagree with some of the President's agenda, the real question for the Korean American community in Los Angeles is whether we are even working together to be a part of the system, to do anything about it. Did you know that out of the 77 candidates jockeying for 17 city designations (eight city council seats, mayor, city attorney, city controller, three board of education and three board of trustees seats) in the Los Angeles City primary elections on March 7th, NOT ONE is Korean American. To this day, Los Angeles is home to the greatest population of Korean Americans living in the United States. We can all sit on the bleachers and watch as decisions are being made that affect us or we can build a community to make an impact in the land we live in. On Thursday, March 2nd, KAC is holding a March Mixer at Cafe Bleu from (6:00 - 8:30 p.m.). We invite you to come, share your views, register to vote and/or bring a friend to register to vote and meet people who are working to build a new coalition for the Korean American community. Let's make change together. Yours sincerely, Joon Y. Bang Executive Director Korean American Coalition (KAC) |
