今晚萨城这里抗议！市议会发公开信：去市政府闹，不要在这闹！
（SACBEE）Sacramento City Council members denounce protest planned for city manager’s home
萨克拉门托市议会成员谴责了计划在城市管理者家举行的抗议活动
The Sacramento City Council unanimously signed an open letter addressing protesters who plan to appear at the city manager’s North Natomas home Sunday night.
萨克拉门托市议会一致签署了一封向抗议者发表的公开信，这些抗议者计划周日晚上，将出现在该市市长位于北纳托马斯的家外举行抗议活动。
The letter came in response to a flyer circulating on social media announcing the protest. The flyer adopts the style of a wanted poster, with City Manager Howard Chan’s face printed in the center. Below, in red font resembling dripping blood, is Chan’s name.
这封信是对社交媒体上流传的传单的回应，该传单宣布了抗议活动。这张传单采用了通缉令的风格，中间印着城市经理Howard Chan的头像。下面是 Chan的名字，红色字体酷似滴血。
Protesters are targeting Chan over his handling of police officers accused of misconduct on the job. The city manager has previously come under fire for not firing either of the two officers who shot 22-year-old Stephon Clark, who in 2018 was killed in his grandmother’s Meadowview backyard with a cellphone in his hand. No charges were filed against both officers after several investigations.
抗议者将矛头指向 Chan，原因是他对被控在工作中有不当行为的警察的处理。2018年，22岁的斯蒂芬·克拉克(Stephon Clark)在其祖母的Meadowview后院被枪杀，当时他手里拿着手机。此前，这位城市管理者因未向两名警察开枪而受到指责。经过几次调查后，两名警官均未受到指控。
Activists have previously called for Chan’s removal over his handling of this and other fatal shootings in the city. The flyer says that Chan is wanted “by the sovereign people of Sacramento for gross negligence resulting in severe loss of life.”
此前，活动人士曾就陈对这起及其他致命枪击事件的处理要求他下台。传单上说， Chan被萨克拉门托人民通缉，因其严重疏忽导致了严重的生命损失。
However, all sitting Sacramento City Council members and Mayor Darrell Steinberg characterized the planned protest as a “campaign of intimidation.”
萨克拉门托市议会的所有现任议员和市长斯坦伯格都把计划中的抗议活动形容为“恐吓运动”。
Steinberg’s home was similarly targeted in February by demonstrators who criticized the city’s efforts to provide services to homeless people. During the demonstration, in which rocks were hurled at the mayor’s house, thousands of dollars worth of damage was done to the property.
斯坦伯格的家在2月份也曾遭到示威者的类似攻击，他们批评该市为无家可归者提供服务的努力。在示威活动中，他们向市长的房子扔石块，造成价值数千美元的财产损失。
“Too often in the past year, we have seen an altogether different kind of protest that traffics in violence, hate and intimidation,” the City Council’s letter reads. “No more. A small group of people willing to embrace violence to advance their ill-defined agenda cannot be allowed to put our City leaders and their families at risk in their homes. Protest at City Hall, not outside someone’s bedroom.”
“在过去的一年里，我们经常看到一种完全不同的抗议活动，充斥着暴力、仇恨和恐吓，”市议会的信中写道。“没有更多。不能允许一小撮人为了推进其不明确的议程而诉诸暴力，让我们的城市领导人及其家人在家中处于危险之中。在市政厅抗议，而不是在别人的卧室外。”
The letter referenced Saturday’s caravan in south Sacramento — a demonstration against anti-Asian hate amid escalating acts of racist violence in the country — as an exemplary form peaceful protest. Prior to the release of the joint statement, councilwoman Mai Vang wrote a thread on Twitter, warning that the planned protest at Chan’s home comes at a time of heightened anti-Asian sentiment.
信中提到，周六在南萨克拉门托举行的游行示威是和平抗议的典范。在全国不断升级的种族主义暴力行为中，这是一场反对反亚裔仇恨的示威活动。在联合声明发布之前，市议会女议员Mai Vang在推特上写了一条帖子，警告说计划在 Chan家举行的抗议活动正值反亚洲情绪高涨之时。
“The graphic image used to intimidate and promote a protest at City Manager Howard Chan’s home is absolutely reckless & harmful and particularly dangerous during a time of increased hate and violence against Asian American communities,” Vang wrote.
王写道:“在针对亚裔美国人社区的仇恨和暴力日益增加的时期，用于恐吓和促进在市经理Howard Chan家的抗议活动的海报绝对是鲁莽和有害的，尤其危险。”
The City Council’s open letter was co-singed by several Asian American advocacy groups.
市议会的公开信是由几个亚裔美国人倡导组织联合签署的。
“These protesters cannot be allowed to appropriate righteous causes like helping those experiencing homelessness or protecting and valuing Black lives,” council members said. “They cannot be allowed to make so much noise that they drown out the voices of love and unity that were crying in the streets of south Sacramento today. We will not be intimidated. We are Sacramento.”
“这些抗议者应该去做一些事情！比如帮助那些无家可归的人，或者保护和珍惜黑人的生命，”该委员会成员说。“他们不应该在这里制造如此大的噪音，以至于淹没了今天在南萨克拉门托街头呼喊的爱和团结的声音。我们不会被吓倒。我们是萨克拉门托。”
The protest is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in Elderberry Park, per the announcement flyer.
根据宣传传单，抗议活动定于晚上7点在 Elderberry Park开始。
