AAU exists so that people of Asian ancestry in Philadelphia exercise leadership to build their communities and unite to challenge oppression.
AAU supports youth to become individually, socially, and politically aware; to exercise their voice; and to participate in active struggles for justice.
AAU fights for time and space to honor, celebrate, and remember so that our communities will have roots, embrace memories and know the power of passing on traditions.
“Building community strengthens our capacity to fight for justice. When we create a street festival, teach folk arts, grow a community garden, or build a school – we create connections among people, honor the knowledge of the elders in our communities, activate people, and value our own cultures. This work is fundamental to social justice work.”
— Ellen Somekawa
@philly_schools WE REQUIRE: For schools to take more initiative in following Covid guidelines and creating back-up plans.
@philly_schools WE DEMAND: For students, staff, and faculty to have access to testing (even if they’re asymptomatic but have been exposed) and for schools to commit to contact tracing so that we can go to school safely and healthily.
WE DEMAND: For students to be able to be allowed access to testing and communication on contact tracing, share our demand with the School District of Philadelphia!

Last week, @aclupa sued Clearfield County commissioners on behalf of two residents and @Vamos_Juntos for signing an immigrant detention center contract with ICE without allowing for public comments. Moshannon Valley will be the largest detention center in the Northeast. They responded by scheduling a "public hearing" today!!!! Tell Clearfield County commissioners to cancel their contract with ICE and GEO Group to establish an immigration detention center in Moshannon Valley. #Not1More #ICEOutOfPA #CommunitiesNotCages #FreeThemAll Learn more >> www.facebook.com/events/433955041691533/

We will be shaving the heads of 51 (more welcome!) people, to represent the 51 votes required to pass the larger Build Back Better package, which includes a pathway to citizenship for our community members.
Once Vice President Harris ignores the parliamentarian’s advice, we will look to Senate Democrats to finish the job and fulfill their long-standing promises.
