法拉盛民主党社区领袖玛莎：感谢法轮功的勇气和坚持

4月21日，法拉盛民主党社区领袖玛莎（Martha Flores-Vazquez）在纪念法轮功学员「四二五」和平上访25周年集会上讲话并接受退党中心记者采访。她对已经有4.29亿中国人抛弃中共感到惊喜。「这都是你们的努力成果！我第一次参加这样的游行：那么多观众也加入了游行队伍！」她说。「我一生中从来没有见过像你们一样坚强而勇敢的人！谢谢你们的坚持，谢谢你们的勇气！法轮大法好！」

And I was not surprised, but it was the first time that there was a real live bystander witness that brought to my attention that what you are telling me is the truth. So this is real. Let’s stop the persecution now.
我並不感到驚訝，但這是第一次有親身經歷的證人告訴我你們說的是事實。這是真的。讓我們停止迫害吧。

Thank you. God bless you. I love you. And if anybody thinks that they can pick on you in my district, call the hotline 718 -909 -4634. I’m friends with government because I am the liaison between the community and government, so I have your back.
謝謝你們，上帝保佑你們，我愛你們。如果有人認為他們可以在我的選區欺負你們，請撥打熱線電話718-909-4634。我是政府的朋友，因為我是社區和政府之間的聯絡人，我會支持你們。

Congratulations. Thank you. I’ll see you next year with a big banner that says Malta Flores Vasquez district leader supports Falun Dafa because Falun Dafa is good.
祝賀你們，謝謝大家。我們明年再見面時，希望有一個大橫幅上寫著馬爾塔-弗洛雷斯-巴斯克斯（Malta Flores Vasquez）社區領導人支持法輪大法，因為法輪大法是好的。

採訪

Reporter: Ms. Martha, we truly appreciate your support. How many times have you participated in this event?
記者：瑪莎女士，非常感謝您的支持。請問您參加過多少次這個活動？

Martha: I come every single year. I believe I’ve been coming for the last 10 years or more. I mean, I’ve lost count. I just know that every single year I will show up to support you because it’s important for me, the community, and for you.
瑪莎：我每年都來。我想我已經參加了10多年。我都數不清了。我只知道每年我都會來支持你們，因為這對我，對社區，對你們都很重要。

Reporter: Do you feel there are any differences between this year and the previous years?
記者：你覺得今年和往年有什麼不同嗎？

Martha: The difference between this year and previous years is that we have more police protection, that sends a very strong message, and that there’s more of the audience joining the parade. So we are all a part of the mission.
瑪莎：今年和往年的不同之處在於，有更多的警察保護（此次活動），這傳遞了一個非常強的信息，而且有更多的觀眾加入到遊行隊伍中來。所以我們都是使命的一部分。

Reporter: Why do you think it’s very important to speak out to the Falun Gong practitioners who are persecuted in China?
記者：您覺得為什麼為在中國遭受迫害的法輪功學員發聲非常重要？

Martha: It’s important to spread the world and educate because that’s the only way to affect awareness.
瑪莎：對世界上的人講清楚真相很重要，因為只有這樣才能提高人們的認知。

Reporter: Is there anything you want to say to the Chinese people,  especially the Falun Gong practitioners in China who are still being persecuted?
記者：你有什麼想對中國人民，尤其是仍在遭受迫害的中國法輪功學員說的嗎？

Martha: The Falun DaFa practitioners need to stay with their courage, their strength, and hope. The color yellow that they’re wearing gives them hope. That’s why I’m wearing yellow today. I support you and never give up because hope is the key secret to success.
瑪莎：法輪大法的修煉者需要保持他們的勇氣、力量和希望。他們身上的黃色給了他們希望，這就是我今天穿黃色衣服的原因。我支持你們，永不放棄，因為希望是成功的關鍵。

Reporter: There are more than 400 million Chinese people quitting CCP, and more than 4 million international people signed the petition about the CCP campaign. What do you think about this?
記者：有4億多中國人退出了中國共產黨，有400多萬國際友人簽署了關於中國共產黨運動的請願書。您對此有何看法？

Martha: I think that this is a victory. I congratulate all of those individuals that join against the persecution of Falun Dafa and the harvesting organs because it’s unethical and it’s time that we rise up to the occasion and make the change that that’s needed and that’s to end the persecution of Falun Dafa.
瑪莎：我認為這是一個勝利。我祝賀所有參與反對迫害法輪大法和活摘器官的人，因為這是不道德的，現在是我們奮起反抗的時候了，我們需要做出改變，結束對法輪大法的迫害。

Reporter: Thank you. The last question is what do you think the international community can do more to bring the awareness about this event and to stop the persecution of Falun Gong in China?
記者：謝謝。最後一個問題是，您認為國際社會可以做些什麼來提高人們對這一事件的認識，停止對中國法輪功的迫害？

Martha: I think that they should join us in our mission, sign petitions online, spread the world, educate the public, and together we will put an end to the persecution.
瑪莎：我認為他們應該加入我們的使命，在網上簽名請願，傳播世界，教育公眾，我們將一起結束迫害。

Reporter: Thank you, Martha. Thank you very much.
記者：謝謝你，瑪莎。非常感謝。
