Committee Against Anti Asian Violence
- HQ
New York, NY
- Founded
1986
CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities was founded in 1986 by Asian women to build power in Asian communities against rising police and hate violence. Over time, our analysis deepened and our work broadened to fighting institutional and systemic racism and violence in Asian immigrant communities.
CAAAV’s purpose is to develop the leadership of working class Asian immigrants to make a significant intervention in the gentrification of NYC by building neighborhood power in Chinatown and Astoria. Chinatown and Astoria are neighborhoods where Asian immigrants are the one of the driving forces of the working class, and could potentially shift the long-term political landscape of the city.
