Cracks in the Chinatown building adjacent to controversial mega jail site. Building owner says the result of jail demolition work. — UPDATE: Department of Buildings statement - “DOB responded immediately when the city was made aware of this condition — and we are confident there is no immediate danger or threat to safety. When this construction project started, the building at 96 Baxter Street had some existing damage — when a recent inspection found additional damage with no clear cause, DOB halted some of the construction work right away.” - in other words DOB ordered a partial stop work order today as a result of this reporting.

The irony of sitting in a jail because I protested a jail is not lost on me. But that sacrifice was worth it to cast light on the systemic racism that Asian Americans have faced throughout the history of this country and continue to face as we battle this jail.

140 years ago this week, Chester Alan Arthur, a man whose monument still stands in Madison Square Park, signed the Chinese Exclusion Act to keep Chinese immigrants out of this country. 40 years ago, when the Chinatown community protested the construction of the Manhattan Detention Complex, then-Mayor Koch said “you don’t vote, you don’t count”. And in the last year, we’ve seen the Hate Crimes Task Force dismiss reports of hate crimes against Asian New Yorkers as we simultaneously witnessed cold-blooded murders and brutal attacks against our community, especially women and seniors.

The Asian community is tired. Building the world’s tallest jail in the heart of Chinatown does nothing to address the systemic abuses of Rikers, you are only transferring them to another building in the center of a working class community of color. The demolition and construction of this jail presents a threat to the health, environment, and economic vitality of Chinatown, which is still trying to recover from this pandemic. We are tired of the racist stereotypes that cast us as passive and silent. That is why I was willing to get arrested. To show that we do have a voice and we will fight back.

This is a terrible time for the AAPI community but there are so many good people who stand with us. Every act of solidarity means more than you’ll ever know… Last Sunday there was an Stop Asian Hate rally in Chinatown. The next day my friend @janleenyc saw three people holding signs on Mott Street. He posted:
"Where there is darkness, there must be light. I was brought to tears today by these three supporters of Chinatown who were “doing their own rally” in Chinatown. Mom said, we missed it yesterday, but it doesn’t matter, “we’re doing this today.” #thankyou thru watery eyes.”
