While the Nanjing Massacre took place in China, "comfort women" were taken by the Japanese army mostly from Korea, China, the Philippines and Indonesia, then Dutch East Indies, therefore becoming an issue rallying a number of activist groups in the United States.
Sing and Tang worked with a number of others to co-found the "Comfort Women" Justice Coalition (CWJC) and allied with San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Eric Mar to initiate a resolution, which was passed by the local legislature in September 2017, calling for establishing a memorial for "comfort women" in the city and educating the local community about stopping global human trafficking of women and girls.
An emotional Mar told the audience of about 300 people, including dozens of students from a Chinese language school, at the event that he heard about the Nanjing Massacre from his father and grand mother and believed that his late grand mother would be proud of his role to right the historical wrong.
Asked by Sing whether the supervisor, who will be termed out in January 2017, would accept an invitation to join the CWJC, Mar answered "Hell, Yes!"
