Making Waves, Building Dreams: Celebrating AAU's 25th

Philadelphia Ethical Society
Philadelphia, PA

Founded in 1985, Asian Americans United's (AAU) mission is to build leadership in Asian American communities to build our neighborhoods and unite against oppression. AAU has worked in Philadelphia's Asian American communities and in broader multiracial coalitions around quality education, youth leadership, anti-Asian violence, immigrant rights, and folk arts and cultural maintenance.

Among our accomplishments are: initiating and monitoring the settlement of a lawsuit with the School District of Philadelphia to improve services to immigrant students; developing the leadership of hundreds of youth through the Community Youth Leadership Project and the Asian American Youth Workshop; creating the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, the largest one-day event in Chinatown; founding the Folk Arts-Cultural Treasures Charter School; and leading citywide efforts to promote community revitalization in Chinatown, including the successful no stadium and no casino campaigns.

Event highlights include the Stand Up For Justice awards and live cultural performances.
