Title A name given to the resource Demonstration Against New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani Description An account of the resource "Ghouliani, Racist," "Giuliani=Racist Police," "A corporate stooge and fascist for crimes against constitution and civil rights violations," these are some of the outcries that can be seen lifted towards the skies against former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. This image captures a demonstration in Chinatown that happened in March 1999 where 21 immigrant vendors, along with allies, protested against their eviction from Dragon Gate Market. The vendors were only able to resist for two months until the City Parks Department, who determined them to be unprofitable, came in with bulldozers and demolished their stalls, fruits of a lifetime of savings for most of them, effectively removing them. Such an event resulted from Giuliani's action against this community that was considered an obstacle towards his goal of privatizing public spaces and restructuring the vending industry into a leasing system[1]. The latter was only one of the many components of the "revanchist"[2] policies implemented from 1994 to 2001 during Giuliani's term. "Quality of life" was the title of his policing campaign that seemingly intended to improve the lives of all New Yorkers. It was built upon criminologists James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling's "Broken Window Theory," which argues that disorderly conduct will eventually culminate in bigger crimes[3]. In implementing this theory, Giuliani decided that the quality of life in New York City could be improved by targeting minor offenses to prevent greater ones. The results were targeted and violent measures of social control, the prioritization of private businesses, who received even more power than they already had from the government, and the trumping of civil rights of low-income people of color, immigrants, and other groups. Consequently, all of CAAAV's communities directly suffered the repercussions that manifested from“broken windows policing” in the form of police brutality, police homicides of people of color, the loss of free quality education, record unemployment and substandard employment, the lack of safety net for homeless and unemployed, the criminalization of public and market spaces, inadequate housing, and poor health care. The ghoul that is systematic racism now had Giuliani's face, and it was disguised under the moniker of "Quality of Life." That being said, CAAAV has been helping and defending Asian Americans against this monster since 1986, and that time it was no different. Through the mobilization of their different programs, CAAAV divided to counterattack the ghoul. For instance, the Racial Justice Committee advocated for police brutality survivors and organized youths to battle racist law enforcement in Chinatown. For its part, the Youth Leadership Program campaigned against the corporatization of health care for the poor, coordinated community events, and organized southeast Asian workfare mothers. Finally, the Women Workers Projects focused on Asian immigrant women who worked in the informal sector, offering them legal advocacy and English classes. Organized effort was and is CAAAV's main weapon. While the war against the ghoul, who since then has had other faces and disguises, continues, they remain unwavering, becoming stronger and wiser for and thanks to the Asian American communities they serve.

Title A name given to the resource Demonstration in support of "Mrs. O" Description An account of the resource Image shows a demonstration for "Mrs. O" in 1998. Three people hold a CAAAV banner that says "Committee Against Anti-Asian Violence New York City." Other people hold signs that say "Our community supports survivor of rape & sexual assault," "Stop violence against Asian women," and "Justice for Mrs. O now." In October 1997, a non-English speaking Korean woman who is known publicly as "Mrs. O," survived rape by her employer and immigration sponsor. The Queens District Attorney's office denied Mrs. O a translator and the presence of a woman, then closed her case without another interview. CAAAV members formed the Justice for Mrs. O Coalition to support Mrs. O, pressure the D.A. to fully prosecute her rapist, and work with Korean organizations to break the silence around sexual assault in the community.
