8,715 个签名。感谢每一位签署人。

这份请愿至今已有 8,715 位经过验证的签名者。有列治文居民,也有大温其他城市和加拿大各地的朋友。这个数字说明一件事:对 R26/14-10 的疑问,不是一个人的疑问。

我们要求的,始终是同样四个问题的答案:

程序公平 —— 表决之前,是否有人联系过当事人、查阅过中文原文?
法律授权 —— 市议会以何种身份、依据哪一条授权,将一位市民的事项转交人权法庭审查?
处理方式 —— 该议题为何以此种方式进入议程、并在当晚完成表决?
一致标准 —— 今后遇到类似事件,市政府是否会适用同一套标准?
这四个问题不要求任何人认错,只要求一个公开、可查证的答复。

 
📅 8 月 23 日(周日)下午 2:00 – 4:00
📍 Richmond City Hall 市政府门外
6911 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC

这是一场和平、守法、非对抗的公民集会。我们不针对任何个人,我们把问题带到它应该被回答的地方。

现场五项诉求: 要求程序正义 · 要求公权力保持克制 · 反对双重标准 · 要求政府透明与问责 · 敞开理性对话与包容

 
我们反对歧视,也反对公权力越界。

这两件事不矛盾。反对歧视,是因为没有人该因族裔身份被贬低;反对公权力越界,是因为没有人该因为一次表达,就被政府机构正式点名追责——尤其是在他已经公开道歉之后。

当公权力可以点名一个普通民众,就有可能点名任何一个人。今天守住原则,明天才守得住自己。

 
你现在可以做三件事:

把请愿转给三位朋友。 8,715 之后的每一个签名,都在提高这个问题被认真回答的可能。
8 月 23 日下午 2 点,到场。 人数本身就是最平和的表达方式。
无法到场,就看直播、留言、转发。
请愿是纸上的声音,集会是现场的声音,选票是最终的声音。10 月 17 日,还有一次。

8 月 23 日,市政府见。

8,715 verified signatures. Thank you.

This petition now has 8,715 verified signatures — from Richmond residents, from across Metro Vancouver, and from across Canada. That number makes one thing clear: the questions about R26/14-10 are not one person's questions.

We are asking for answers to the same four questions we started with:

Procedural fairness — Before the vote, did anyone contact the person named, or read the original Chinese-language article?
Legal authority — On what basis, and in what capacity, did Council refer a private resident's matter to the BC Human Rights Tribunal?
Handling — How did this item come onto the agenda and to a vote the same evening?
Consistent standards — Will the same standard apply the next time something like this happens?
None of these questions asks anyone to admit fault. They ask for one thing: a public, verifiable answer.

 
📅 Sunday, August 23 — 2:00 to 4:00 PM
📍 Outside Richmond City Hall
6911 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC

This is a peaceful, lawful gathering. It is not directed at any individual. We are bringing the questions to the place where they should be answered.

Five things we're asking for: due process · restraint in the use of public authority · no double standards · transparency and accountability · an open, civil conversation

 
We oppose discrimination. We also oppose government overreach.

These are not in conflict. No one should be demeaned because of their ethnicity — and no one should be formally named and pursued by a government body over a single act of expression, particularly after a public apology has already been made.

If a council can name one private citizen, it can name any citizen. The principle we hold today is the one that protects us tomorrow.

 
Three things you can do now:

Share this petition with three people. Every signature past 8,715 makes a serious answer more likely.
Come on August 23 at 2 PM. Turnout is the calmest form of expression there is.
Can't make it? Watch the livestream, comment, share.
A petition is a voice on paper. A gathering is a voice in person. A ballot is the one that counts — October 17.

See you at City Hall on August 23.
