The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, a national organization founded in 1974, protects and promotes the civil rights of Asian Americans.
AALDEF engages in the following activities:
-
litigates cases that have major impacts on the Asian American community;
-
provides legal resources for community-based organizations and facilitates grassroots community organizing efforts;
-
conducts free, multilingual legal advice clinics for low-income Asian Americans and new immigrants;
-
educates Asian Americans about their legal rights;
-
comments on proposed legislation and governmental policies; and
-
trains students in public interest law and encourages them to use their legal skills to serve the community.
In response to the alarming escalation in xenophobia and bigotry resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Asian Pacific Planning and Policy Council (A3PCON), Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), and the Asian American Studies Department of San Francisco State University launched the Stop AAPI Hate reporting center on March 19, 2020. The center tracks and responds to incidents of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, shunning, and child bullying against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.
Their approach recognizes that in order to effectively address anti-Asian racism we must work to end all forms of structural racism leveled at Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color.
Their 5-pronged approach is to:
- Serve as the leading aggregator of anti-Asian hate incidents
- Offer multilingual resources for impacted community members
- Provide technical assistance from rapid response to preventative measures
- Support community-based safety measures and restorative justice efforts
- Advocate for local, state, and national policies that reinforces human rights and civil rights protections
