Quality of Life: CAAAV’s Activism Against the Giuliani Administration’s Policing

For the duration of the Giuliani administration, CAAAV’s leadership fought against anti-Asian attacks that had been labeled as ‘random’ but were extremely targeted as a consequence of unchecked systemic and state-sanctioned racism that manifested itself “in the form of police brutality, environmental racism, labor exploitation compounded by physical and sexual abuse at the worksite, and the deepening of poverty through a domestic legislative war against the urban poor.” This digital exhibition explores some of CAAAV’s important leadership roles in fighting for the quality of life for every New Yorker.
