Title A name given to the resource World Social Forum 2004 Description An account of the resource Started in 2001 in Brazil, the World Social Forum (WSF) is a global annual week-long event in which organizers and NGOs convene in the spirit of fighting against systems of power. The WSF mainly serves as a platform for discussing possible worlds outside of one dominated by imperialism, capitalism, and globalization, with the slogan, “Another World Is Possible.” [1] The fourth World Social Forum, held in 2004 in Mumbai, was the first WSF to be held outside its home country of Brazil in order to broaden its focus to Asia and corresponding topics such as the caste system and the relations between India and Pakistan. [2] The WSF is also a subject of criticism. At this particular WSF, criticisms included there were groups that should have been excluded (such as armed militant groups), that the WSF put too much emphasis on discussion and not enough on collective action. [3] Further, a forum counter to the WSF was held at the same time, called Mumbai Resistance (MR) 2004. CAAAV and Domestic Workers United (DWU) members were delegates to the World Social Forum 2004. They visited impoverished urban areas in Mumbai and a network of Adivasi tribes. [4] Through their experiences with local life, CAAAV and DWU members confronted their privilege coming from a developed country where aspects of life such as running water were taken for granted. [5] They learned about the caste system in greater depth and the environmentally destructive extractionist role that Coca-Cola plays in India. [6] After a couple days of the WSF, the delegation began to have criticisms of the event, including that the workshops were all in English with no translators and that NGOs dominated the discussions. [7] The delegation then decided to visit Mumbai Resistance (MR) 2004 to gain insight into the WSF, learning that the WSF has close relations to prominent NGOs. [8] They then marched with Mumbai Resistance against the U.S. invasion of Iraq. [9] The CAAAV and DWU members left with a sense of renewed drive for justice, a sense of responsibility to educate themselves about the effects of U.S. imperialism internationally, and gratitude for what Mumbai had taught them. [10] The World Social Forum Collection primarily contains photos, posters and pamphlets taken from the World Social Forum 2004 and Mumbai Resistance 2004. The photographs primarily document protests. The pamphlets are written by various movements and groups about their own work. The collection also includes papers that detail workshops and seminars.

Title A name given to the resource CAAAV Voice Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1988-2008 Description An account of the resource Founded in 1986 as the Committee Against Anti-Asian Violence, CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities has a rich history of advocacy and organizing in New York City’s Asian and Asian American immigrant and refugee communities. This collection of CAAAV newsletters documents over 25 years of local and national justice struggles around issues of police brutality and militarization; workers’ rights; housing, gentrification and displacement; and access to social services and electoral power. This archive puts the rich history of resistance of Asian American communities in New York City, the United States, and abroad at the fingertips of community members activists, organizers, researchers, scholars, artists. This Reading Guide is a companion for visitors of the newsletter collection. The collection currently includes 29 editions of the Voice newsletters, which CAAAV published from 1989 to 2008. CAAAV began publishing the Voice to report on recent events and provide important updates about its campaigns and organizing efforts. These newsletters are a testament to community organizing as a powerful strategy for marginalized and disenfranchised communities in the fight for justice and equity. Since its founding, CAAAV remains firmly rooted in local, national, and international struggles against racism, imperialism, and state violence. <h2>Themes</h2> The Voice document the issues that continue to face Asians and Asian Americans today. The newsletters covered organizing efforts around Phillip Kaufman’s racist film Rising Sun; corporate media bias and the so-called Los Angeles Riots in 1992; post-9/11 racial profiling and surveillance of New York City’s pan-Asian communities; unjust deportation laws; national labor rights; homophobic policies affecting queer youth; and countless other struggles. Prominent themes that emerge throughout two decades of the Voice include racial violence; police brutality and other systemic state violence; city governance; workers’ rights; particularly of undocumented workers; news from CAAAV’s partners, and urgent calls to action. These and other themes continue to shape CAAAV’s organizing model, campaigns, and political framework. <h2>Anti-Asian Violence</h2> CAAAV emerged as part of a national response to rising anti-Asian violence across the country in the 1980s, including the violent hate crime and murder of Detroit native Vincent Chin in 1982. As part of its commitment to addressing the root causes of violence and challenging the structures of power between the city government, police, and New York City’s communities of color, CAAAV has always worked to support Asian American communities throughout the city and in solidarity with peoples’ struggles abroad. Through issue campaigns and coalition work, CAAAV has successfully pressured decisionmakers and leaders, such as the police commissioner, housing authorities, and other powerful entities to create lasting change for its constituents and the larger community. The Voice reported many instances of anti-Asian violence in New York City and in the country through Fall 1998. This segment began as “NYC Update”, “Anti-Asian Violence Nationwide,” and later, beginning in Spring 1993, they were generally called “New York City Incidents” or “National Incidents” and included incident reports of police brutality, profiling, abuses of power, and other forms of state violence, creating an important record of the continued history of anti-Asian violence in New York City and throughout the United States. <h2>Police Brutality</h2> The Voice reported many instances of police brutality. For example, the <a href="https://caaav.org/fall-1992">Fall 1992</a> issue highlighted the Rodney King case in LA, as well as identifying 1992 as the ten-year anniversary of the Vincent Chin case in Detroit. Additionally, many local instances of police violence appear in many vignettes under “New York City Incidents.” Some of the ways in which CAAAV had resisted and fought against police violence, had been through “Know Your Rights” campaigns, involvement in Civilian Complaint Review Board, and grassroots organizing efforts. In <a href="https://caaav.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/voice_fall_1989.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fall 1989</a>, the Voice featured an article on Spike Lee’s iconic film Do the Right Thing and its representation of the political climate of the 1990s during New York City’s mayoral race. The same issue ran an election guide with actual NYC mayoral candidates’ platforms on issues that directly affected CAAAV members on the ground. CAAAV called on readers to pressure local leaders to address critical issues of widespread police brutality and racial violence. <h2>Government Accountability</h2> New York City’s elected officials play an important role in policies and procedures that have a daily impact on local residents, and CAAAV is committed to holding these officials accountable. For example, the <a href="https://caaav.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Voice_Fall_1998.pdf">Fall 1998</a> issue of the Voice reported the discriminatory impact of former NYC Mayor Giuliani’s so-called “Quality of Life” and “Broken Windows” policies (<a href="https://caaav.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Voice_Spring_1995.pdf">currently being revived by the NYPD</a>). The policies claimed to make streets safer for a better city for New Yorkers, but in reality, was a policing campaign that targeted and criminalized poor and working class people of color rather than addressing the structural conditions that create injustice. <h2>Workers' Rights</h2> Recognizing the importance of labor rights, CAAAV organized around workers’ rights, for all kinds of work and immigration status. In Spring 1994, the Voice reported on Saleem Osman – a CAAAV organizer for the Lease Drivers Coalition – and his experience with police brutality, connecting themes of labor, police brutality, and organizing to keep the city accountable. Saleem Osman represents how labor rights were additionally central to CAAAV’s mission to support poor and working-class people of color. Between 1989 and 2008, some of the themes related to labor in the Voice included sex work, undocumented workers, domestic workers, garment worker, and working women. One of CAAAV’s organizing arms, beginning in Summer 1996, was the Women Workers Project, which originally began to address sex work and to bring sex workers together for collective action. The WWP continued to be a forum from which to organize working women. <h2>Acronyms</h2> CCRB – Civilian Complaint Review Board EEOC – Equal Employment Opportunity Commission AALDEF – Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund CCOC – Chinese Community Organizing Committee KCOC – Korean Community Organizing Committee YLP – Youth Leadership Program HUD – U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development TLC – Taxi and Limousine Commission The following are CAAAV Committees. They begin with the linked issue and appear consistently. WWP – Women Workers Project RJC – Racial Justice Committee YLP – Youth Leadership Project ARM – Asian Resistance Media <h2>Conclusion</h2> The Voice illustrates CAAAV’s early and lasting commitments to combat political, racialized violence and social injustice; to work in coalition with and in solidarity with other community organizations; and to continue the legacy of historic Asian American social movements. This archive is an invaluable resource for students, community organizations, Asian American Studies scholars, artists, and any individual or institution with an interest in New York City and American political movements and social justice.
