屋崙華埠兔年新春巡遊，2023年1月29日上午 11點至下午1點

每年，美國和全世界 20 億人一起慶祝農曆新年。 2022 年 9 月 30 日，加州紐森州長正式簽署 AB 2596 成為法律！當紐森州長宣布這一消息時，每個亞太裔社區都開始慶祝，淚水、歡呼聲和汽車鳴聲響徹全州。歷史上，美國政府有過非常歧視亞太裔的法律，包括臭名昭著的1882年排華法案和二戰期間美國日本人集中營。今年這項新農曆新年假日法向前邁出了一大步。我們讚賞州長堅持對族裔平等和多元化的承諾！

兔農曆年是從2023年1月22日開始。兔子像徵著耐心和幸運。今年應該是碩果累累的一年。去年所做的所有工作今年都會結出果實，尤其是對於那些內心純潔的人。對於那些願意冒險的人來說，會有額外的好運。祝福大家2023年兔年喜悅富足！

2023 Lunar New Year Parade, JANUARY 29, 2023 • 11 AM–1 PM

The Lunar New Year is celebrated by two billion people in the United States and throughout the world. On September 30, 2022, Governor Newsom officially signed AB 2596 into law! When Governor Newsom made the announcement, tears, cheers, and bells were ringing throughout our state as every API Community started to celebrate. Our nation's past history included some very discriminatory laws against API communities including, the Chinese Exclusion Act and the Japanese internment during WW2. This new law is a giant step forward. We applaud the Governor for standing firm in his commitment to equity and diversity. 

The Year of the Rabbit begins January 22, 2023. The rabbit symbolizes patience and luck. This year should be a fruitful one. All the work you've put in last year shall bear fruit this year, especially for those who are pure of heart. There will be an extra bit of luck for those willing to take the chance. 

The Year of the Rabbit 2023 will bring less anger and more joy!

美國的新一波疫情高峰也隨著假日而來臨，雖然今年的流感已經達到了高峰，但新冠住院病例繼續攀升中。加州的洛杉磯，聖地亞哥，舊金山等縣的感染人數自感恩節後翻了一番，住院數增加了 77%，大部分是沒有完全接種加強針的老年人。近 90% 的死亡發生在 65 歲以上的人群中，這個群體的二價加強針接種率不到 25%。新冠特效藥物 Paxlovid 在老年人中的使用率也很低。這些死亡中有很大一部分是可以避免的。

 ⚠️接種疫苗： myturn.ca.gov，或直接到各药房和诊所接种（ 新冠加強針可以和流感疫苗混合接种）更多疫苗訊息https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/aBjSn8YdU6NN3oSFyU6Oqw

⚠️一站式服務 One Stop Service：https://covid-19-test-to-treat-locator-dhhs.hub.arcgis.com/ 通過這個網站，民眾可以搜索附近的一條龍服務藥房，去那裡做快速檢測。如是陽性且你具有高危因素, 藥房當即就開處方給你配藥。你可以拿上五天療程的輝瑞Plaxlovid帶回家自行服用，無需去醫院或診所看病，更不需隔離。全部費用由聯邦政府買單，患者不需花費1分錢。目前加入了這個一條龍服務的有 CVS, Walgreens, 和 Walmart.

With the holidays comes the peak of a fresh wave of epidemics in the United States. Despite the fact that the flu has reached its peak this season, the number of hospitalized patients of the Covid-19 continues to rise. Since Thanksgiving, the number of infections in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and other California counties has more than doubled, and the number of hospitalizations has climbed by 77%, primarily among the elderly who have not been properly vaccinated. 

People over the age of 65 accounted for nearly 90% of mortality while having less than 25% bivalent booster vaccine coverage. The elderly also have a low utilization of the Covid specific medication - Paxlovid. A high number of these deaths are avoidable. 

⚠️Vaccination: myturn.ca.gov, or go straight to various pharmacies and clinics (the Covid booster dose can be blended with the flu vaccination) 

for further vaccine information: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/aBjSn8YdU6NN3oSFyU6Oqw

⚠️Covid One-stop Service: https://covid-19-test-to-treat-locator-dhhs.hub.arcgis.com/  People can use this website to find nearby one-stop service pharmacies and visit them for a quick check. If your test is positive and you have high-risk indicators, the pharmacist will promptly issue you a prescription. You can take Pfizer Plaxlovid for a five-day course of treatment at home without going to a hospital or clinic. The federal government covers all expenditures, and patients are not required to pay anything. This one-stop service is currently offered by CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart.

12月3日和4日，屋崙華埠社區促進會 (OCIC) 和華人精神健康聯盟 MHACC在灣區主辦首個以冬至為主題的大型街會。為期兩日的活動，雖然伴著絲絲的細雨及初冬的凉意。但現場的各種攤位，美食和活動仍舊令人流連忘返。

全天候的舞台表演，免費的味全湯圓，現場兌換黃柳霜紀念幣，有獎的攝影活動，吸引了無數當地民眾。

多位現任和新當選的民選官員出席街會剪綵儀式。屋崙市的州眾議員邦塔（Mia Bonta）在致詞中說：下雨意味著活力，意味著我們將會在明年迎接更綠色的春天。 

新當選阿縣第三區縣議員的譚蓮娜（Lena Tam ）向公眾送出冬至的祝福，她表示，她在華埠工作了30年，屋崙華埠商會和屋崙華促會的努力對華埠的復甦非常重要。

新當選屋崙市長的盛桃因受邀赴白宮，無法親自參加街會。她派代表向華裔社區送上節日祝福，並稱: 屋崙將迎來全新的一天。

OCIC and MHACC co-hosted the Bay Area's first large-scale winter solstice-themed street fair on December 3rd and 4th. The two-day event was accompanied by light rain and the early-winter chill. The different kiosks, foods, and activities available on-site were unforgettable.

Numerous residents have been drawn to the all-day stage performances, free Weiquan glutinous rice dumplings, an on-site exchange of Huang Liushuang commemorative coins, and award-winning photographic activities.

A number of present and recently elected politicians attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the street party. In her speech, Oakland state Rep. Mia Bonta stated: "Rain brings vitality, which means we will greet a greener spring next year."

Lena Tam, the recently elected county councilor for A County's third district, expressed her winter solstice blessings to the public. She stated that she has worked in Chinatown for 30 years and that the efforts of the OCIC have substantially aided the development of the neighborhood. Recovery is essential.

Sheng Tao, Oakland's newly elected mayor, was invited to the White House but was unable to attend the street gathering in person. She sent officials to wish the Chinese American community happy holidays, stating that "Oakland will usher in a brand new day."

12月21日，MHACC的義工們來到 John George 精神病醫院，為住院病友們包裝聖誕禮物，場面非常溫馨。

義工Terri 說出了一句大家的心裡話：他們病了，住院了，還以為全世界都忘記他們了。但是這些禮物和卡片，讓病友們知道，他們並沒有被遺忘，還有人記得他們❤️

祝所有人聖誕新年快樂 🐰

On December 21, volunteers from MHACC came to John George Psychiatric Hospital to wrap Christmas gifts for inpatients. The scene was very warm and uplifting.

Volunteer Terri’s words will remain in everyone's heart: They were sick, hospitalized, and thought the whole world had forgotten them. But these gifts and cards let the patients know that they have not been forgotten, and there are still people who remember them ❤️

Merry Christmas and New Year to all 🐰

<My Life Is Worth Living> is a series of animated short films made by legendary Hollywood producer Terry Thoren (creator of the Simpsons, Rugrats, and other animation series) to promote adolescent mental health and prevent suicide.  Terry feels that animation has the potential to help young people in ways that other media cannot.
All videos are available in Chinese, allowing parents to find an effective and compassionate bridge for parent-child dialogue while watching with their children.
Series 1 (Amie's story): Amie, who is academically gifted, diligent, and self-disciplined, suddenly succumbs to unpleasant feelings. She feels out of place and felt as if she was a burden on her family and friends. She begins considering suicide. What happened to Amie?
