Title A name given to the resource “Li,” Pending an Asylum Decision, Goes on a Seven-Day Hunger Strike to Demand Release on Parole Description An account of the resource Summary: This article reveals the conditions within the Wackenhut detention center, as disclosed by a detained undocumented Fujianese immigrant, “Li” (pseudonym), who was able to contact media outlets with CAAAV’s assistance. Li explained that a total of nine detainees—including four Chinese detainees—had been consuming only water and salt for the past seven days, with their central demand being release on parole. No doctors at the detention facility had visited them despite their physical discomfort and medical symptoms. Li’s account challenged Wackenhut’s official record, which stated that no detainees had been starving for more than 72 hours. Li also provided accounts of the living conditions in the detention center, as well as the demographics of the detainees, including 40 ethnically Chinese immigrants out of a total of 180 detainees.

Title A name given to the resource Chinatown Residents Challenges Manhattan Bridge Rehabilitation and the Closing of Grand Street Station Description An account of the resource On March 15, 1999, the Lower East Side Business Improvement District invited the NYC Department of Transportation and New York City Transit to brief community members on the impacts of the Manhattan Bridge rehabilitation project. Multiple organizations opposing City Transit’s negligence to consider community interests formed the Grand Coalition, whose members made up the majority of the meeting’s attendees. Attendees gathered at Yung Wing Elementary School in Chinatown to voice suggestions to mitigate the negative impacts that the repair project, along with the planned closure of the Grand Street Station located at the intersection of Chinatown and the Lower East Side would have on the surrounding community. The project was expected to last three years. CAAAV organized high school students who held bilingual banners reading “Do Not Disturb Chinatown” (不要扰乱华埠) and “No Equity, No Peace” (没有公平，没有和平).

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 Justice for Wrongfully Convicted David Wong during Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration Description An account of the resource This new article features CAAAV’s celebration of the Mid-Autumn festival, which is similarly reported in item #2578. The reporter particularly zoomed in on describing how the David Wong Support Committee raised awareness regarding overturning the conviction for David Kin-Jin Wong, who was imprisoned for 17 years. While serving a sentence for armed robbery in a correctional facility, David Wong was charged with murder after a cellmate was stabbed to death. The wrongfully convicted revealed multiple unjust flaws of the criminal justice system: falsified testimonies of the police guard, a fully white jury, absence of language access services to translate David Wong’s Fujianese dialect, and more. After years of dedicated grassroots efforts, the case was overturned in 2004.

CAAAV emphasized the necessity of a rent freeze by underscoring the discrepancy between the rising rent and the workers’ stagnant salaries. According to CAAAV’s community survey, about 40 to 70% of Chinatown tenants’ wages went to rent, while New York City became increasingly unaffordable with an annual rent increase of 3% for the past 25 years.  An English translation of the original article is attached in the file.

Title A name given to the resource Over 500 Chinese Residents Signed Petition Demanding HPD to Incorporate Language Access Services Description An account of the resource CAAAV joined Fukien Benevolent Association of America and City Councilmember John (Chun Yah) Liu in calling on the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to provide direct Chinese language services. This modification would allow limited English proficiency (LEP) Chinese residents to seek help from the 311 hotline when their housing has any maintenance or repair problems. Over 500 residents signed a petition in support of this demand. A Chinatown community survey that CAAAV administered found out that about 70% of tenants encountered housing maintenance or repair issues, but only 10% of them sought help from HPD. Nearly 20% of the respondents stated limited English proficiency as the barrier preventing them from filing the complaint.

It details how migrant workers are mistreated and many do not earn enough to apply for a Korean Visa, while the government profits off of their cheap labor. Further, the government passed a bill that requires all undocumented workers to be deported. The poster lists their demands, including the legalization of undocumented migrant workers and what the reader can do to help.

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.
