Community members raised money to support a Chinese garden with pagodas and handmade replicas of Chinese pavilions and monuments. For years, the center hosted festivals, Phoenix Chinese Week and school field trips.

It had a dim sum restaurant, a sprawling Asian supermarket and a Chinese medicine shop, among other businesses. Occupancy rates dropped in recent years, a change True North said pointed to the decline. Supporters of the center blamed mismanagement. True North said remaining tenants would have the option to remain at the property after its overhaul, which is expected to take about a year. It has offered to maintain the Chinese garden, preserve and relocate sculptures and other architectural elements, and make available extra pallets of roof tiles.

For much of the community, those offers fell short. Nearly 16,000 people have signed a petition asking that the center be preserved, with hundreds marching on weekends outside the complex to rally support. The council received a citizen petition to take up the issue, which under the Phoenix City Charter required a hearing and a formal response. craftsmanship used to design and install the roof tiles and wood timber is of ancient origin. These pieces be simply deconstructed like some modern- day Legos the Chinese United Association of Greater Phoenix said in a statement.

Recent immigrants spoke of visiting the center when they wanted to remember home, and others shared memories of attending educational trips or festivals there. is no question that the Chinese Cultural Center has become an iconic landmark that brings recognition to commitment to said Paul Gilbert, an attorney representing the Chinese United Association of Greater Phoenix. He said the center is place of religious and reflection of the Chinese contributions to Elizabeth Yu, who was involved in the design and construction, said a business center can be built anywhere, but the Chinese Cultural Center is irreplaceable. we want to let it be taken she asked the council.

The designation typically is reserved for buildings at least 50 years old, and the new owner is not willing to preserve the entire structure. Jason Rose, who is representing True North on the project, said the company has property and has nonetheless numerous, positive to the Chinese community. True North is willing to donate $100,000 to a new Chinese Cultural Center at Hance Park, he said. Talks between attorneys for both the Chinese Community and True North are ongoing, according to representatives.

A Navajo Nation Council delegate is proposing that the distribution of sexually graphic images without a consent be listed as a criminal offense under tribal law. The bill would make it illegal to electronically share, transmit or post images that depict nudity or specific sexual activities without a consent and with the intent to harm, harass, intimidate, threaten or coerce the person. Delegate Jonathan Hale is sponsoring the bill, which was posted on the tribal website and was eligible for consideration by lawmakers starting Monday.

In a telephone interview on Friday, Hale said with more tribal members using electronic devices to communicate, there is a need to develop this type of law to protect victims. He added he heard a report this year from the Sexual Assault Prevention Subcommittee about a young woman who had explicit images of herself shared on social media without her consent. The woman sought legal action in tribal court but found out no law existed to address image exploitation, he said. The woman filed a restraining order against her perpetrator and researched revenge porn laws at the state level then asked tribal lawmakers why the tribe does not have a similar law for its members, Hale said. Under the proposal, defendants can be criminally charged in tribal court and sentencing would depend on details of the case.

Proposed sentencing includes jail time, a fine up to $500 and removal of the distributed images that depict nudity or sexual activities. The court may also order restitution or which would be determined by the Navajo Peacemaking Program. is loosely translated as a mechanism used to restore harmony between parties by talking about the situa- tion to correct the wrong. Thirty-eight states have enacted laws that address the unauthorized sharing of explicit images, according to the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative. The Cyber Civil Rights Initiative is a non-profit organization that advocates for the technological, social and legal innovation to fight online abuse.

New Mexico, Arizona and Utah, which the Navajo Nation has boundaries in, are among the states that have such laws. Hale said the law in Arizona was used as a model for his proposal, which needs approval by the tribal council and the tribal president for enactment.
