[김한일 한인회장 취임 축사] 쥴리 탱 위안부정의연대(CWJC) 공동대표, 전 판사

Dear Members of the Korean-American Community Center:

It  is a great honor to congratulate Dr. Jonathan Kim on his election as  the 32nd President of the Korean-American Community Center of the San  Francisco Bay Area.

I cannot think of a better person than Dr. Kim to give this organization the prestige and honor it deserves as its President.

Dr.  Kim has served the Korean-American community faithfully and loyally. He  is well-known, well-respected, and well-loved in the San Francisco  communities. I, along with Judge Lillian Sing and the “Comfort Women”  Justice Coalition have worked closely with Dr. Kim and Soon Ran Kim on  the “Comfort Women issues and led anti-Asian hate demonstrations to  bring awareness to the broader community. Through our close alliance, I  am proud to say we are not just close friends, but part of the larger  Asian-American family.

I  pledge my support to support Dr. Kim in his capacity as President. I  have no doubt he will fulfill every single one of his pledges to the  Community Center and empower the Korean-American community socially,  economically, and politically bringing the community to a new level of  transparency and progress that are much needed.

Needless  to say, Dr. Kim’s leadership in the Korean -American Community Center  will continue to solidify the relationship among all Asian-American  Communities fighting for racial and gender justice in the US and  throughout the world.

Yours truly,

Judge Julie Tang, Ret’d, 

Co-chair, “Comfort Women” Justice Coalition

Co-founder, Pivot to Peace
