To cherished community members, invested allies, and those we meet with open arms,

Right now, it’s a challenging time we live in.
At Chinese Canadian National Council (Toronto Chapter), it has been our guiding vision to champion and serve the urgent needs of our ever-growing community membership. In the difficult past few years we’ve all experienced, it’s clear that we need a strong sense of community more than ever.

After the pandemic began, we witnessed demands from CCNCTO community members increase fivefold in response to unmet service needs. Our membership has grown from 50-100 monthly members to over 500 members seeking support and access to resources.

亲爱的社群成员，盟友，以及那些我们张开双臂欢迎的人，

眼下，我们生活在一个充满挑战的时代。

平权会（多伦多分会）一直以支持和服务我们不断壮大的社群成员的迫切需求作为我们的指导愿景。在过去几年我们共同经历的困难时期，我们意识到，我们比以往任何时候都更需要强烈的社群意识。

在疫情爆发后，我们见证了平权会社群成员因服务需求得不到满足而提出的要求增加了五倍。我们的会员人数从每月 50-100 名增加到超过 500 名，他们都在寻求支持和获取资源。

We know the concerns of community members
and caring allies, like you.

Within the critical findings of CCNCTO reports, we confronted the bracing impact of hate and racism rising throughout the height of COVID-19: anti-Asian racism is pervasive, emotionally and mentally distressing, and brought a sense of “无奈 Wu Nai” (hopelessness and helplessness).

Our CCNCTO community members identified
these ongoing needs:

Lack of resources to support those facing hate and racism;
Lack of intergenerational connection; and
Barriers to engaging in community-making spaces.

我们了解社群成员和像您这样关心的盟友所担忧的问题。

在平权会发布的报告所展示的重要调查结果中，我们直面了仇恨和种族主义在整个 COVID-19 高峰期所产生的强烈影响：反亚裔种族主义无处不在，给人带来情感和心理上的困扰，并带来一种无奈，无望，无助的感觉。

我们的平权会社群成员发现了这些持续存在的需求：

缺乏资源来支持那些面临仇恨和种族主义的人；

缺乏跨代际的联系；以及

参与社群建设空间存在障碍。

CCNCTO has significant history and experience in delivering anti-racism programming to East and Southeast Asian communities.

Our past events have been multilingual, intergenerational, and cross-racial. We have addressed key aspects of community-building, solidarity, empowerment, and capacity-building, geared towards youth, seniors, the larger pan-Asian community, and more.

We know our goals wholeheartedly:
Since 2021, we have targeted our anti-racism programming towards building youth and senior capacity and solidarity.
We’ve got the numbers to prove it:
We have successfully hosted over 50 intergenerational events with more than 1000 annual participants over the past two years.
We held at least 18 of them in 2023 alone.
We’re only just getting started:
Our extensive work to build up cross-racial community events to combat racism included promoting pan-Asian community solidarity. This work has ramped up since 2022.

平权会在向东亚和东南亚社群提供反种族主义项目活动方面拥有丰富的历史和经验。我们过去的活动都是多语言、跨代际，跨种族的。我们的活动涉及社群建设、支持、赋权和能力建设等重要事宜，面向青少年、老年、及更大范围的泛亚裔社群等。

我们非常清楚我们的目标：自2021年以来，我们的反种族主义项目一直以培养青少年和老年人的能力和支持团结为目标。

我们有数据为证：在过去的两年里，我们成功举办了超过 50 场跨代际活动，每年参与者超过 1000 人。仅在 2023 年，我们就举办了至少 18 场活动。

我们才刚刚起步：我们广泛开展跨种族的社群活动，推动泛亚裔社群的支持团结，以打击种族主义。这项工作自 2022 年以来一直在加强。

We are calling on the community for help.

Since 2020, we have produced 5 reports, including 2 widely cited national COVID reports, documenting the needs of Asian community members and advocating for concrete policy changes. Despite increased demands, our funding for anti-racism capacity building has steadily decreased since 2021.

In 2024, we aim to devote our efforts towards:

Facilitating intergenerational knowledge sharing;
Passing on Chinese knowledge, traditions, and histories;
Combating senior isolation and generational disengagement;
Co-creating safe spaces for collaboration and relationship building; and
Empowering youth leadership and advocacy.

我们呼吁社群提供帮助。

自 2020 年以来，我们已经制作了 5 份报告，包括两份被广泛引用的全国性 COVID 报告，其中记录了亚裔社群成员的需求，同时倡导具体的政策改革。然而，自 2021 年以来，尽管需求增加了，我们能用于反种族主义能力建设的赞助在持续减少。

在 2024 年，我们将致力于：

促进跨代际知识分享；
传承中华传统、知识和历史；
消除老年人的孤独感和代际疏离感；
共同创造合作和关系建设的安全空间；以及
增强青年的领导能力和游说能力。

This holiday season, we are focused on strengthening our community connection. Our 2024 projects will encourage Asian youth and seniors to collaborate, learn from one another, and inspire further community engagement.

Key target actions:

Centering dialogue between community members as they shape their ongoing support demands to service providers, governing bodies, and community organizations.
Minimizing language barriers that often hinder conversations and community advocacy through translations, interpretations, and discussion moderation.
Increasing event accessibility through public transport reimbursement and food, especially for new immigrants and low-income groups.
Promoting safe educational space to explore cultural and self identity, discuss and validate their experiences, and build mental resilience in the face of adversity.
Equipping community ambassadors of all ages with knowledge and tools to take collective action.

这一季，我们专注于加强社群联系。我们的 2024 年项目将鼓励亚裔青少年和老年人相互合作、相互学习，并激励他们进一步参与社群活动。

关键行动目标：

在社群成员向服务提供者、管理机构和社群组织提出持续的支持需求时，以社群成员之间的对话为中心。
通过翻译、口译和讨论主持等方式，尽量减少阻碍对话和社群宣传的语言障碍。
通过报销公共交通费用和提供食物，提高活动的可及性，尤其是对新移民和低收入群体而言。
促进安全的教育空间，以探索文化和自我认同，讨论和验证他们的经历，并培养面对逆境时的心理承受力。
为各年龄段的社群大使提供采取集体行动的知识和工具。

All generous donations will directly go towards CCNCTO’s efforts towards empowering intergenerational connections for resilience against racism and adversity in 2024.

Thank you kindly for your support,

CCNCTO Team
