"UN For Taiwan" Peace Rally in SF

Taiwan wants to join the United Nations (UN). The voices of 23 million Taiwanese cannot be heard in the international community. This is a serious violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 2758 on October 25, 1971, which seated the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations. This resolution, however, did not address the issue of representation of Taiwan in the United Nations. Unfortunately, it has subsequently been misused to justify the exclusion of Taiwan. Even the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, recently rejected a letter (July 19, 2007) applying for the UN membership from Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian. Instead he should have forwarded it to the Security Council as required under rule 59 of the Council’s rule of procedure. After World War II, Japan renounced all right, title and claim to Taiwan, but Taiwan was ceded to no one under the San Francisco Peace Treaty. However, the people in Taiwan have not been granted the right of self-determination from the United Nations. Taiwanese Americans ask for your support for our campaign on September 18, 2007, the day of the 62nd UN General Assembly. Taiwanese people deserve the right of self-determination. Taiwan should be a member of the international community including the United Nations. Please help us pass and deliver our simplest message today: “UN Membership for Taiwan.” Time: 11:00 AM Place: San Francisco Civic Center Plaza

San Francisco Premiere Screening of the New Documentary Made in L.A.

Taiwanese American activist Joann Lo who serves as co-executive director of Enlace, a strategic alliance of low-wage workers centers and unions in the U.S. and in Mexico, is featured in the documentary. Over the past 10 years, Joann has also been an organizer in two different unions, serving Latina and Chinese garment workers in Los Angeles.
