Organizations Filed Purposes:
The mission of AAAJ-ALC is to promote, advance, and represent the legal and civil rights of Asian Pacific Islander ("API") communities, recognizing that social, economic, political and racial inequalities continue to exist in the United States. AAAJ-ALC is committed to the pursuit of equality and justice for all sectors of our society with a specific focus directed toward addressing the needs of low-income, immigrant, and underserved APIs.
Founded in 1972, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Asian Law Caucus (AAAJ-ALC) is the nation's first
Immigrants Rights program is committed to an immigration system that keeps families together and does not determine a person's value by their immigration status or whether they have been incarcerated. Recognizing that incarceration, immigration detention, and deportation separates families, we focus our legal services on the most vulnerable in the Asian American and Pacific Islander community - immigrants facing deportation due to criminal convictions. The hundreds of clients we serve each year enable us to quickly identify emerging problem areas and to respond effectively through impact litigation, community education, and advocacy.
National Security and Civil Rights program is committed to standing up for our cherished constitutional freedoms and liberties in the post-9/11 environment. We protect the civil rights of individuals and communities unjustly impacted by overbroad national security policies, especially Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (AMEMSA) communities. We strive to confront the day-to-day breaches of civil rights to impact the larger social and institutional dynamics that prevent the realization of equal rights through a combination of direct legal services, impact litigation, and public education and advocacy.
Housing Rights program advocates on behalf of low-income residents in the areas of housing and community development. We focus primarily on gateway communities for new immigrants, such as San Francisco Chinatown, where large numbers of tenants and seniors are in danger of displacement due to gentrification and other economic pressures.
