In the face of ongoing gentrification it's crucial for us to unite in support of our Chinatown and DTES communities honor our elders and their cultural heritage and revel in the collective joy of artistic expression.
Through each Chinatown Together event we are dedicated to backing grassroots efforts amplifying the genuine voices of our community reclaiming our cultural roots and safe spaces and standing firmly united against encroaching gentrification. Celebrating community joy is our most powerful resistance to these forces - let's come together and celebrate in Chinatown as one!
面對持續的貴族化，我們必須團結起來支持唐人街和市中心東端的社群，尊重我們的長者及他們的文化遺產，並享受藝術表達帶來的集體歡愉。
透過一次次華埠團結的活動，我們致力於支持華埠草根行動，擴大我們社群的真實聲音，尋回我們文化根源以及安全空間，並堅定地團結起來抵抗逐漸侵佔我們的市紳化。
慶祝社區愉悅是我們最強有力的抵抗——讓我們齊聚華埠來共同慶祝！
