Welcome Our Newest Members!

This March, we’re excited to share that we have FOUR new members who just joined GAR! With Alliance of Filipinos for Immigrant Rights and Empowerment (AFIRE), Massage Parlour Organizing Program (MPOP), South Bay Youth Changemakers (SBYC), and Southeast Asian Community Alliance (SEACA), we are 38 (!!!) strong, grassroots organizations that organize working-class, pan-Asian communities in fourteen states across the nation. Neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city, state by state, GAR strives towards a shared vision of a sustainable, powerful, and progressive national working-class, pan-Asian ecosystem.

GAR staff hosted an orientation for our new members last month.
