Title A name given to the resource Tenant Unions Calls Attention to Housing Hardships: Evicted Chinatown Renters Showed Up to Protest Description An account of the resource On October 28th, the Citywide Tenants Coalition organized a demonstration in Harlem, demanding governmental agencies to recognize and remedy the citywide shortage of housing stock, unaffordability for low-income renters, and displacement of small businesses. CAAAV youth members along with Chinatown residents undergoing forced evictions attended and cited the 166 Elizabeth Street apartments as a powerful case of illegal eviction. The landlord used excuses to reject rent payment and cut off gas to remove low-income Asian and Hispanic renters. Small business owners faced a shared fate, finding themselves displaced so that the empty storefronts could be rented to corporations and larger businesses. Anti-gentrification protestors criticized the governmental authorities for failing to effectively intervene while using taxpayer money to fund large infrastructure and commercial projects that did little to benefit the struggling small businesses.

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.

Title A name given to the resource Multiple Chinatown Groups Voiced Opposition to the 2003 Invasion of Iraq Description An account of the resource The article documents Manhattan Chinatown community members’ anti-war response after the U.S. military launched bombing campaigns on Baghdad. About 20 CAAAV members gathered in front of the Confucius statue in the pouring rain, calling on the Bush administration to withdraw troops while distributing educational anti-war pamphlets to passersby. The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) criticized what it saw as the Bush administration’s hypocrisy in legitimizing war under the guise of humanitarianism and democracy. AALDEF also expressed concern that the Iraq War could further exacerbate racial, ethnic, and religious discrimination and violence, citing the government’s inhumane, undemocratic, and unconstitutional treatment of Arab, South Asian, and Muslim communities after 9/11. Another anti-war argument centered on the allocation of resources, arguing that money spent on the war could instead have been used to support working-class and immigrant families through education, healthcare, and affordable housing. A local church also held a prayer gathering for peace.

Title A name given to the resource "Asians for Jericho" banner in Washington, DC Description An account of the resource Taken at the Jericho demonstration on March 27, 1998, this photograph shows members and allies of CAAAV who joined the widely coalitional Washington, DC march to protest the incarceration of political prisoners and prisoners of war in the United States and demand their amnesty and freedom. [1] The CAAAV members pictured pose near the Capitol Building in Lafayette Park with a colorful banner decorated with the image of a dragon which reads, “Asians for Jericho: When the Prison Gates Open, The Real Dragons Fly Out.” To the right, one protester holds a sign on which bold lettering spells out “Free All U.S. Political Prisoners,” at the bottom stamped “Jericho ‘98.” The former references a quote by Ho Chi Minh, whose words express a vision of prison gates opening to release the radical and oppressed who have been incarcerated for their dissidence. In this vision, their release ushers in a renewed surge of resistance that will burn down the exploitative and oppressive system that imprisons us all. The mass demonstration, during which protesters from all over the United States marched from Malcolm X Park to Lafayette Park, manifested a collective effort by over 50 organizations, defense committees, and activist groups. As part of the larger Jericho Movement, the march was intended to force the US government to acknowledge the existence of political prisoners within its borders. Protesters held high giant photos of Mumia Abu-Jamal, Leonard Peltier, Sundiata Acoli, the MOVE 9, and the Puerto Rican independistas, bringing attention to the hundreds of people incarcerated as a result of their radical and grassroots work against oppressive conditions in housing, medical care, education, employment, and policing. [2] CAAAV’s presence at the march brings attention to the relevance of these issues for Asian-American communities, and reflects its investment in intersectional modes of resistance. Marching with the David Wong Support Committee as “Asians for Jericho,” CAAAV members helped highlight the broad and specific racialized underpinnings of imprisonment and the fact that “most political prisoners are radical people of color.” [3] Operating on local, regional, and national levels, the Jericho Movement engages intersections of race, class, gender, immigration, and nationality to highlight the harm, silencing, and violence systemically and systematically imposed on marginalized peoples by centering the stories of “brothers and sisters” imprisoned for their liberatory actions. [4] Active still, the Jericho Movement has organizing committees in Albuquerque, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Portland, and Richmond, as well as regional committees working nationally. Jericho works with local defense committees to bring the cases of political prisoners to the public, reaching across organizational lines to build a strong network of resources and support for those it serves.
