Support Chinese Students and Activists (CSA) Network!
关于我们 ABOUT US
在2020年成立的「中国(留)学生与行动者」网络是一个为中国（留）学生和行动者们的会面，联结和合作提供机会和空间的平台。我们旨在通过能力建设和社群连结帮助身在北美有兴趣的中国(留)学生们了解、参与和组织草根社会运动。
Founded in 2020, Chinese Students and Activists (CSA) Network is a space for Chinese (overseas) students and activists based in North America to meet, connect and collaborate. We aim to support those who are interested in social justice movements through grassroots organizing and capacity building.
为何是我们，为何要现在 WHY US AND WHY NOW?
从第一位中国（留）学生踏上美国以来，中国（留）学生就一直是社会正义运动的一份子。
每年，数以千计的中国学生前往美国和其他国家留学。随着中国在过去几十年迅速发展，并越来越多地确立其在该地区和全球的经济、政治和军事领导地位，中美之间的紧张局势加剧，对华人、华裔美国人和亚裔社群产生着实际的影响。在美国，由于COVID-19 期间种族主义以及围绕贸易和全球经济的紧张局势升级，仅在2021年，已报告的白人和其他有色人种针对亚裔美国人的仇恨事件就有 2500 多起。
尤其在新冠大流行期间，海内外各地爆发的社会运动对中国海外留学生产生了深远的影响。从经历直接或间接的种族主义事件到受到“黑人的命也是命”抗议活动的启发，我们中的许多人都对美国和在其他国家爆发的社会正义运动（比如伊朗的“妇女、生命、自由“运动等）产生更多的关注和兴趣。我们观察到越来越多的留学生和海外青年想要打破舒适圈，参与到跟广阔的公共议题的讨论中去，也对参与行动、组织行动和社群组织表现出热情和渴望。但同时，我们也观察到加速政治化的留学生们所面对的普遍挑战和困境：
很多留学生想做点什么，但缺少组织经验。
同时我们也意识到，以左右划分的传统政框架不足以应对二十一世纪的各种危机，包括经济、气候及人们的健康问题。我们必须找到新的方法来连结中国（留）学生、华人移民、亚裔美国人社区、少数族裔工人阶级、原住民和白人进步人人士，一同寻找出路。
CSA的社群空间致力于培养中国（留）学生和行动者的领导力，并加强彼此之间的连结。
我们期待你的加入！
As long as Chinese international students have been in the US, we have always been part of movements for justice– both in the United States and in China.
Every year, thousands of Chinese international students study abroad in the US and other countries. As China has developed rapidly in the last few decades and increasingly asserts its economic, political, and military leadership in the region and globally, there have been increased tensions between China and the United States, all of which have real impacts for Chinese, Chinese American, and people of Asian descent.In the US, more than 2500 reported cases of hate incidents against Asian Americans by whites and other people of color have been reported just in the last year, stoked by COVID-19 racism and escalated tensions around trade and the global economy.
We are not pro-China and we are not pro-United States. We believe that much of the tensions between the US and China do not serve the people in both countries. It is clear that the left-right paradigm is woefully inadequate to address economic, climate and health crises in the 21st century — and what we need is a new path for Chinese international students, the Chinese immigrant community, the Asian American community, working class people of color, Indigenous communities and white progressives and liberals to build something together.
This space prioritizes building the leadership and relationships between Chinese international students and activists. We hope you will join us!
