BPHC Announces Community Listening Sessions

BPHC Announces Community Listening Sessions
Open sessions will connect City to residents who can help identify gaps in trauma resources
BOSTON - Wednesday, May 18, 2016 - The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) will be hosting a series of community listening sessions designed to help the City assess trauma resources and needs in Mattapan, Dorchester, Roxbury, and East Boston.  The sessions will be open to neighborhood residents and community partners and encourage feedback and ideas around how to improve existing resources and engage residents in trauma prevention efforts.  The first session is in Dorchester on Wednesday, May 18, at 5:30 PM.   

"We look forward to learning from residents how we can better support individuals and communities who have been victims of trauma," said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "I am pleased the Boston Public Health Commission is leading these efforts and working with other City departments and agencies to connect with residents in their neighborhoods. I look forward to learning how the City of Boston can better support residents who have faced trauma, and the lessons we can learn from their resilience."

BPHC invites both residents and representatives of community agencies to attend the meetings and to share perspectives on the types of supports their communities would need in the instance of a traumatic event and for longer-term recovery efforts. Leaders will be prompting attendees to share ideas on how the city can help support their neighborhoods, and on the information and education that communities would need in order to offer comfort to neighbors who have been impacted by violence.

"Violence never has just one victim, and any single event can impact an entire community," said BPHC Executive Director Monica Valdes Lupi, JD, MPH.  "Residents know their communities best, which is why we turn to them now for guidance in preparing and delivering support response and recovery services for traumatic events."
 
Through a network of community health centers in Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan and Roxbury, BPHC supports eight trauma recovery teams. The trauma recovery teams are a resource for residents impacted by violent or other traumatic events, with services available on an ongoing basis after short term crisis response needs are met. Residents are encouraged to use this resource regardless of when their traumatic incident took place.

BPHC will use information gleaned in these community listening sessions to determine how to improve and continue providing these resources.

Meetings are scheduled for the following dates and locations:

May 18: Dorchester, First Parish Dorchester, Meetinghouse Hall, 10 Parish St.; 5:30 - 8 p.m.
May 24: East Boston, East Boston Social Center, 68 Central Square; 5:30 - 8 p.m.
May 25: Roxbury, BCYF Tobin Community Center, 1483 Tremont St.; 5:30 - 8 p.m.
May 26: Mattapan, Mattapan Branch, Boston Public Library, 1350 Blue Hill Ave.; 5:30 - 8 p.m.

Dinner, childcare and translation services will be provided at all of the meetings. For more information, call 617-534-2382.

MAYOR WALSH LAUNCHES SPARK BOSTON TO BETTER ENGAGE THE CITY OF BOSTON'S MILLENNIAL POPULATION


MAYOR WALSH LAUNCHES SPARK BOSTON TO BETTER ENGAGE THE CITY OF BOSTON'S MILLENNIAL POPULATION
Formerly Known as ONEin3, SPARK Boston Encourages Civic Engagement in Boston's Millennial Population

BOSTON - Wednesday, May 18, 2016 - During a celebration Monday evening, Mayor Martin J. Walsh announced the strategic rebranding of SPARK Boston, formerly known as the Mayor's ONEin3 initiative, to help draw a larger and more diverse range of Boston's millennials into civic participation. The rebranding is part of a concerted effort by the City of Boston to better engage, communicate and collaborate with residents between the ages of 20-34, a demographic that comprises over a third of the city's overall population.

"The City of Boston's vibrant and diverse millennial population is one of our greatest assets," said Mayor Walsh. "We know that our young people care deeply about this city and its future, and we recognize the need for new tools and strategies to interact with them. It is our intention through SPARK Boston to tap into the energy and creativity of our young leaders to encourage them to rethink civic engagement and empower them to have an impact, make a different and spark change in their own communities."

SPARK Boston builds on Mayor Walsh's proactive engagement of Boston's young adults by encouraging their active participation in the city's policies and programs. Young adults make up about 45 percent of eligible voters and nearly half of the city's workforce. They are an economic engine, adding $1 billion annually in goods and services to Boston.

"Since 2004, ONEin3 has been helping young adults build relationships and strengthen their personal and professional networks here in Boston," said Erin Santhouse, Director of SPARK Boston. "While this remains a vital function of the program, SPARK Boston will focus on engaging the next generation of civic leaders and social entrepreneurs in the work of city government. This will shape how the City designs and develops policies, convenes stakeholders for important initiatives, and works collaboratively with young people to shape Boston's future."

The celebration drew over 300 young adults to the TD Garden, including 300 members of the SPARK Council. During the event, Mayor Walsh encouraged attendees to become involved in SPARK Boston and other city programs. Fifteen City of Boston departments and related programs were on-site to showcase their initiatives, distribute informational materials, promote upcoming events, recruit volunteers, register new voters, sign people up for mailing lists and more. 

The following departments and programs were in attendance: Greenovate, Renew Boston, Go Boston 2030, Boston Home Center, Mayor's Health Line, Office of Recovery Services, Imagine Boston 2030, Mayor's Housing Innovation Lab, Women Entrepreneurs Boston, Mayor's Office of Women's Advancement, Elections Department, Mayor's Mentoring Movement, City Hall To Go, Boston 311, Department of Innovation and Technology and StartHub.

REP. TED LIEU STATEMENT ON HOUSE PASSAGE OF DENUCLEARIZED KOREAN PENINSULA AMENDMENT

REP. TED LIEU STATEMENT ON HOUSE PASSAGE OF DENUCLEARIZED KOREAN PENINSULA AMENDMENT
Washington - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) issued the following statement in response to House passage of his amendment (Number 328) to the National Defense Authorization Act: To express a sense of Congress that it is the policy of the United States to support a denuclearized Korean peninsula.
“I am pleased that in contrast to the irresponsible, dangerous language of a presumptive nominee for President, the Republican majority in the House has joined with Democrats to unanimously pass my amendment asserting the official policy of the United States to support a denuclearized Korean peninsula.  We cannot allow the proliferation of nuclear weapons on the peninsula.  We must protect stability in the region by reducing nuclear activity—not increasing it.”

            (Boston Orange 周菊子波士頓報導)東方銀行(Eastern Bank)與聯邦小企業行政局(SBA)為慶祝亞裔傳統月,516日首度合作舉辦亞裔小企業論壇, 邀得麻州財政廳長高柏珂(Deb Goldberg),助理企業發展長范文南(Nam Pham)致詞,5名亞裔企業家分享經驗。

            根據麻州大學等機構的統計調查,在2014年時,儘管麻州只有384,642名亞裔,只佔全州約670萬人的5.8%,但綜合購買力已高達192億美元,亞裔企業家人數也已增至26,578,創造了68億美元的營業額,聘用了48,982名員工,對麻州的經濟成長有不可小覷的貢獻。
            東方銀行董事長 Bob Rivers,人力資源執行副董事長Nancy Stager在牛頓市馬利澳酒店舉行的這論壇中向亞裔致意,強調該行尊重族裔文化差異,竭力服務社區,每年收入的10%都用來捐助地方上慈善事業的營運。

            麻州財政廳廳長高柏珂致詞時指出,企業或機構越多元化,效率及生產力越高。她上任後,特地設立經濟賦權辦公室(Office of Economic Empowerment),要求政府合約商遵循法令,聘用少數族裔及婦女。她到公司參訪時,也往往會毫不客氣的探問該公司員工結構,性別比率。她的辦公室還設立了“婦女金融獎學金”,鼓勵女性跨入金融領域工作。
            大同地產的周樹昂,華林功夫太極學校創辦人余翠梅,JP富士集團創辦人梁戰士,蘇州化工(Suzhou Chem)董事長倪繼紅,Everglory Logistics董事長Joe Phan等五人,在WCVB記者伍沅媚主持中,和不下200明出席者分享經驗。

        梁戰士坦言,他從19歲起和人合夥開餐廳, 慢慢發展到今日在三個以上城市,開有10家餐廳,還投資經營醫療器材事業,絕對不容易,但他憑著一腔熱血,抱感恩心情,總記掛回饋社區,才一步一腳印走到現在。
梁戰士儘管仍然年青,已經致力提攜後進,不但曾應亞美專業人員協會,亞裔發展基金之邀,大方分享經驗,逢有年輕人提問,也總竭盡所能地回答。16日當天就不斷有人向他請益。
倪繼紅是來自中國大陸的移民,儘管有著和化工無關的高學歷,卻因緣際會開辦起營銷化學材料的公司。剛到美國時,英語不行,卻從找客戶,銷售,送貨,記帳,全得一手包攬,待公司發展得有起色,請員工了,還得學習人事管理,15年做下來,其間的辛酸不足為外人道,但如今公司營運的穩定,頗有規模,卻也讓她欣慰。
紐英崙中華資訊網路協會的高弘負責介紹該會。(周菊子攝)
余翠梅是越南華裔移民,和家人抵達麻州時,還是稚齡兒童。愛上武術的她,有幸得父母成全,進華林派,隨師傅Bob Rosen習武,並成為華林派第一位女師傅。余翠梅坦言,當年創辦華林功夫太極學校,最大挑戰是要贏得別人信任。一來她還年輕,二來她是女生,許多人到學校打個轉就走了,她花了不少心思,才奠定基礎,更發展出武術與學養俱進的教學方法與要求。
周樹昂早年從加拿大移民來美,從經營藥房,拓展進地產業。他強調經營企業者回饋社區的重要。周樹昂這些年來不但在波士頓華埠多個社團擔任董事,目前也是麻州亞美局委員之一。                                 東方銀行舉辦的這場亞裔小企業論壇,幾乎網羅了所有的亞裔社團,包括華美福利會,紐英崙華人歷史協會,新英格蘭台灣商會青年商會,紐英崙中華資訊網路協會,亞美社區發展協會,昆市亞協服務中心等,全都派員出席。
