lends significant weight and support to this critical cause, amplifying the urgency and importance of opposing discriminatory laws and standing for justice and equality.

SB 264, a legislation imposing a restrictive property purchase ban for certain community members, has raised significant concerns. Violations of this ban could result in severe civil and criminal penalties, including imprisonment of up to 5 years. Moreover, SB 264 mandates property registration, threatening law-abiding, taxpaying AAPI community members with an unprecedented and unreasonable penalty of $1,000 per day if their properties remain unregistered by December 31st, 2023.

This legislation draws chilling parallels with historical injustices. The requirement to register wealth echoes the horrific experiences of the Nazi regime's treatment of Jews during World War II, leading to discrimination and persecution. Similarly, the targeting of specific community members resonates with the discriminatory Chinese Exclusion Act, a dark period in history that marginalized Asian immigrants.

The rally is an urgent call for unity and justice, aiming to bring together individuals of all backgrounds in opposition to discrimination and unfair treatment. It stands as a testament to the unwavering commitment to justice, diversity, and equality that Miami holds dear.

Join us on December 16th, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, at the Torch of Friendship, as we stand united in solidarity. This rally marks a critical moment in the defense of our values, our rights, and our community.
