CAAAVs 20th Anniversary Celebration!

In working to bring people together to care, to believe, and to take action, we tend to only look and move forward. Anniversaries are times to take careful stock of one’s past—to pause in reflection and pull lessons and inspiration from our history, from our roots.

On Friday, May 18th at 6:30 PM, in the Home of the National Black
Institute of Action Arts, CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities will be celebrating 20 years of our work to build working-class Asian community power in New York City and strengthen the broader movement for racial, economic and global justice at OUR ROOTS GROW DEEP, CAAAV’s 20th Anniversary Celebration!
