Great points, including those by the Examiner commenter. A ballot measure to remove Rose Pak's name from the subway could turn into a symbolic referendum on the corrupt relationship between city government and "non-profit" organizations.
It was good chatting with you today, and sorry you'll be out of town for our meeting on Saturday Sept. 14, but look forward to whoever you can find to come and tell us more about the subway issue, and connecting with you on your return. As we discussed, if they are able and willing, we'd also be interested to hear from them any info they may have about local support for gun rights in San Francisco's Chinese-American community, opposition to the Beijing regime (including support for the democracy protests in Hong Kong, solidarity with Falun Gong, Tibet, Taiwan, and/or Xinjiang), or any other local pro-freedom causes with which people may be engaged.
Please note however that the information which I gave you about our meeting location is incorrect! Apparently we were not able to secure use of our usual room at the library this month, so we will be meeting at Cafe Europa, located at 4318 California Street between 5th and 6th Avenues. The business meeting is from 3-5pm, and we usually have a social at a nearby restaurant afterward – in this case, since the cafe has food for sale, I expect those who wish to hang out and socialize afterward will just stay in that location for as long as people desire, and whoever may come from your group is more than welcome to join us.
Amid protests, SF board names Chinatown subway station after Rose Pak
Turns out I was mistaken. It was not Rosa Parks, a civil rights icon known
for refusing to move to the back of the bus in Montgomery, Alabama, but
rather Rose Pak a Chinatown activist known for opposing the Fulan Gong, a
Chinese supposedly exercise and health group.
