CAAAV is focused on 2 projects:

CAAAV YLP members

Asian Youth in Action (AYA) – CAAAV’s newest project Asian Youth in Action (AYA) builds on our legacy of developing young leaders in New York City who engage their communities for social change. In 2012, AYA youth are participating in the Communities united for Police Reform campaign and will be trained as Know Your Rights trainers.

CJP organizing residents

Chinatown Tenants Union (CTU) – CTU was founded in 2005 as a space for residents to come together and provide a unified community voice on issues relating to gentrification and development. The CTU organizes Chinatown residents – youth, low-wage workers, and tenants – against community-wide displacement and gentrification in order to preserve Chinatown as a neighborhood for working-class Asian immigrants.
