Build the Path Towards Working Class Power
A message from our Co-Directors, Cathy Dang and Roksana Mun.
We are excited to announce an important moment in our journey: the launch of Grassroots Asians Rising’s “Building the Path to Working Class Power” recurring donor campaign. Our ambitious goal is to recruit 24 new sustainers who will play a pivotal role in amplifying our efforts. In the year 2024, we want to double down on the need to invest and organize beyond election to election long-term. Will you join us in this transformative mission by becoming a monthly supporter?
We have dedicated ourselves to building a more equitable future. As GAR’s Co-Directors, we are proud to lead GAR as it is the only national alliance dedicated to pan-Asian working class organizing. We have seen remarkable strides at GAR:
Our coalition has expanded to include 34 grassroots organizations, each driving meaningful change across the U.S. on the frontlines of fighting for racial, immigrant, gender, education and worker justice.
We created an Asian American Racial Justice Toolkit, that has been downloaded over 5,000 times, and now available in 12 languages where we are engaging grassroots organizations in scaling shared political education.
We have facilitated and harnessed the thought leadership of the grassroots to strategize against the growing influence of the right on pan-Asian communities, while also shaping national narrative on the necessity of working-class organizing in order to contend with the Right.
In 2024, have moved $300,000 to the grassroots through our newly member-decided Lotus and Rice Fund and we will continue this Fund in the coming years.
We support our members through capacity building, empowering them to advance a shared progressive agenda envisioned by the most directly impacted, and drive meaningful change for all communities.
Sign up now to be a monthly sustainer. With your support, we can build on this momentum, ensuring that our voices are stronger, our reach is wider, and our impact is deeper. Together, we can forge a path to greater working class power and justice for all.
Be a driving force in our movement and build long-term organizing beyond election to election. By becoming a monthly sustainer today, you’ll play a vital role in shaping a better future for our communities.
Thank you for your commitment and support!
In Power,
Cathy Dang and Roksana Mun
