Title A name given to the resource Women Workers Project members march in the 1999 Philippine Independence Day Parade Description An account of the resource Members of CAAAV march with a blue banner at the annual Philippine Independence Day Parade. The banner reads, "FILIPINA WORKERS FOR LIBERATION / Women Workers Project of CAAAV." The Women Workers Project (WWP) of CAAAV began in 1996 to organize Asian women sex workers in New York City. WWP soon expanded its outreach to other Asian immigrant women working in informal service industries, especially Filipina domestic workers. The Fall 2000 issue of CAAAV Voice states that "WWP's mission is to collectively create conditions for Asian domestic workers to gain control over their labor and living conditions... WWP members seek to build cooperatives, develop alternative health care programs for undocumented working women, engage in campaigns which will challenge racist and sexist immigration and labor policy, provide peer advocacy, and build community among all Asian women workers who labor in the informal sector." WWP is also known as Kalayaan at Pagkakaisa ng mga Manggagawang Pilipina.

Title A name given to the resource Yong Xin Huang Memorial Description An account of the resource This photograph depicts a memorial and rally for 16-year old Yong Xin Huang, who was killed by a policeman. Dated July 16th, 1995, the rally was held the day before what would have been his 17th birthday. Organized by CAAAV, the memorial brought many members of the Asian-American community to Confucius Plaza, where leaders from the Asian, African American, and Latino communities spoke out against police brutality. In this photo, we can see these community members carrying signs in the shape of headstones in honor of Yong Xin and other young lives lost to police brutality and anti-Asian racism. These include Kai Lor, another 16-year old who was shot four times in an attempted robbery despite lacking a weapon, and Luyen Phan Nguyen, a 19-year old university student killed after objecting to being called “Viet Cong” and “Chink” at a party. Yong Xing was playing with a pellet gun at his friend’s house the morning of March 24th, 1995, when a neighbor called the police. Police accounts claimed that there was a struggle, and that Officer Steven Mizrahi believed the boy’s gun to be real. In spite of this, injuries found in an autopsy report made it clear that Yong Xin had his face pushed against a glass door and was shot in the back of the head. At the time, a grand jury still concluded that the killing was accidental, and no indictment was brought against Officer Mizrahi. Years later, the Huang family sued the city alleging that the officer wasn’t properly trained and acted recklessly. They settled with the city for $400,000, but did not receive public justice. Yong Xin’s sister Qinglan has continued to speak out against police brutality, notably advocating for justice for the family of Akai Gurley in 2014. The gravestone imagery within the photo speaks to an ongoing struggle against anti-Asian racism and police brutality, as the memory of Yong Xin and many others reminds us. Bibliography: 1.
