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

Wei Chen, Asian Americans United’s Civic Engagement Director said, “We ask our city government to stand with us on this matter. This is not the first time that big developers proposed to build something without our input: the baseball stadium, the casino, to name a few. We have defeated each one of them. We are ready to fight to protect our community.”

Wednesday night we came together in-person to mark one year since the Atlanta Spa Shootings in which eight people, six of them Asian women, were killed. We are joining together as a community with our partners VietLead , and Asian Pacific Islander Political Alliance to commemorate those we have lost to anti-Asian violence - not just through that one event, but over the last few years. Together, let's demand better for our communities and take action against the discrimination so many have faced.
