*_ *About CAA and AACRE* Chinese for Affirmative Action was founded in 1969 to protect the civil and political rights of Chinese Americans and to advance multiracial democracy in the United States.
Today, CAA is a progressive voice in and on behalf of the broader Asian American and Pacific Islander community.
We advocate for systemic change that protects immigrant rights, promotes language diversity, and remedies racial and social injustice.
In 2014, CAA helped to launch the Asian Americans for Civil Rights and Equality (AACRE) network that focuses on long-term movement building, capacity infrastructure, and leadership support for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders committed to social justice.
Including CAA, there are currently 11 partnering member groups with unique strengths.
Fiscal sponsorship, administrative, and operational support is provided centrally for all of these groups so they can focus on their core programs.
More recently, CAA, along with AAPI Equity Alliance and the San Francisco State University Asian American Studies Department, launched the Stop AAPI Hate coalition to document and respond to incidents of hate at the local, state, and national levels.
The mission of Stop AAPI Hate is to advance equity, justice, and power by dismantling systemic racism and building a multiracial movement to end anti-Asian American and Pacific Islander hate.
This is an exciting period of growth and impact for Stop AAPI Hate.
Due to the extraordinary demand and support for our work, we are poised to deepen and expand our reach and engagement throughout the country.
