1. 陈霞芬致支持者的信：
My dear friends:
Today is a day for celebration. I’m writing to announce a historic settlement in my two lawsuits seeking accountability for the government’s illegal and discriminatory investigation of me, its wrongful prosecution, and its termination of my employment with the National Weather Service.
The settlement is one of the largest paid to an individual plaintiff in Commerce Department history. As compensation, the Commerce Department is paying me $550,000, and I’ll receive an annuity from the U.S. government valued at $1.25 million over ten years. In addition, the Commerce Department is hosting a private meeting between me and a senior agency official, and it is providing me with a letter that acknowledges my extensive accomplishments during my tenure as a U.S. government hydrologist.
Today’s settlement is not only a victory for me; it is also a victory for our community and for the rule of law. It makes clear that profiling and discrimination are unacceptable, and that rogue investigative units like ITMS have no place in a democratic society. The government cannot escape the consequences for these wrongs. It will be held to account.
Of course, no amount of money can ever fully repair the injustices I’ve experienced. But today’s settlement is a critically important step toward achieving justice for myself and for so many Chinese Americans who have been subjected to unjustified government scrutiny.
Your unwavering support has been essential to this fight every step of the way. Although I’m unfortunately unable to celebrate with each of you in person, please know that I’m thinking of each of you, and I am so grateful for your kindness and generosity over this years-long fight. You’ve given me the strength to go on. Thank you so much!
Sherry
编译如下：
今天是一个值得庆祝的日子。我写下这封感谢信是为了宣布关于我在两起诉讼中达成了历史性的和解，追究美国政府对我开展非法和歧视性调查、错误起诉以及终止我在国家气象局工作的责任。
这是美国商务部历史上向个人原告支付的金额最大的和解协议之一。作为补偿，商务部将付给我55万美元，我还将从美国政府获得为期十年的年金，价值125万美元。此外，商务部将为我和一名高级机构官员举办一场私人会议，并向我提供证明信，承认我在担任美国政府水文学家期间取得的广泛成就。
今天的和解不仅是我的胜利，它也是我们社会和法治的胜利。它清楚地表明，种族歧视是不可接受的，像ITMS这样的流氓调查单位在民主社会中是没有地位的。政府逃避不了这些错误的后果，终将被追究责任。
当然，再多的金钱也无法弥补我所经历的不公正对待。但今天的和解是为我自己和众多受到美国政府不公正审查的华裔美国人争取正义的关键重要一步。
你们坚定不移的支持对这场斗争的每一步都至关重要。虽然我无法与所有人一起庆祝，但我一直铭记你们每一个人的付出，我非常感谢你们在这多年的战斗中给予我的善意和慷慨。你们给了我继续前进的力量。非常感谢!
