Role in the Community

  • The group’s own TAH directory record is preserved in the corpus as Taiwanese American Ma Ma Class (DC) 大華府區台美人媽媽教室.
  • 2020-09-30 — UN membership advocacy: the group (signed as 華府台灣人媽媽教室) was among 16 Greater Washington Taiwanese groups — including 華府台灣同鄉會, 大華府台美人長樂會, 華府台灣信用合作社, 大華府台灣合唱團, 華府台灣學校, and 台灣人公共事務會華府/馬里蘭分會 — that issued a joint statement supporting Taiwan’s bid to join the United Nations (大華府僑團聯合聲明：挺台灣加入聯合國). HOLD: conflict in the group’s rendered name — directory page 大華府區台美人媽媽教室 vs statement signing 華府台灣人媽媽教室 (word order 台美人 vs 台灣人); likely the same org, not merged.
