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.
我并不感到惊讶，但这是第一次有亲身经历的证人告诉我你们说的是事实。这是真的。让我们停止迫害吧。

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.
谢谢你们，上帝保佑你们，我爱你们。如果有人认为他们可以在我的选区欺负你们，请拨打热线电话718-909-4634。我是政府的朋友，因为我是社区和政府之间的联络人，我会支持你们。

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.
祝贺你们，谢谢大家。我们明年再见面时，希望有一个大横幅上写着马尔塔-弗洛雷斯-巴斯克斯（Malta Flores Vasquez）社区领导人支持法轮大法，因为法轮大法是好的。

采访

Reporter: Ms. Martha, we truly appreciate your support. How many times have you participated in this event?
记者：玛莎女士，非常感谢您的支持。请问您参加过多少次这个活动？

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.
玛莎：我每年都来。我想我已经参加了10多年。我都数不清了。我只知道每年我都会来支持你们，因为这对我，对社区，对你们都很重要。

Reporter: Do you feel there are any differences between this year and the previous years?
记者：你觉得今年和往年有什么不同吗？

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.
玛莎：今年和往年的不同之处在于，有更多的警察保护（此次活动），这传递了一个非常强的信息，而且有更多的观众加入到游行队伍中来。所以我们都是使命的一部分。

Reporter: Why do you think it’s very important to speak out to the Falun Gong practitioners who are persecuted in China?
记者：您觉得为什么为在中国遭受迫害的法轮功学员发声非常重要？

Martha: It’s important to spread the world and educate because that’s the only way to affect awareness.
玛莎：对世界上的人讲清楚真相很重要，因为只有这样才能提高人们的认知。

Reporter: Is there anything you want to say to the Chinese people,  especially the Falun Gong practitioners in China who are still being persecuted?
记者：你有什么想对中国人民，尤其是仍在遭受迫害的中国法轮功学员说的吗？

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.
玛莎：法轮大法的修炼者需要保持他们的勇气、力量和希望。他们身上的黄色给了他们希望，这就是我今天穿黄色衣服的原因。我支持你们，永不放弃，因为希望是成功的关键。

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?
记者：有4亿多中国人退出了中国共产党，有400多万国际友人签署了关于中国共产党运动的请愿书。您对此有何看法？

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.
玛莎：我认为这是一个胜利。我祝贺所有参与反对迫害法轮大法和活摘器官的人，因为这是不道德的，现在是我们奋起反抗的时候了，我们需要做出改变，结束对法轮大法的迫害。

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?
记者：谢谢。最后一个问题是，您认为国际社会可以做些什么来提高人们对这一事件的认识，停止对中国法轮功的迫害？

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.
玛莎：我认为他们应该加入我们的使命，在网上签名请愿，传播世界，教育公众，我们将一起结束迫害。

Reporter: Thank you, Martha. Thank you very much.
记者：谢谢你，玛莎。非常感谢。
