AAPI Women Lead

AAPI Women Lead is a community-based intergenerational organization that strengthens the social and political power of Asian and Pacific Islander communities in the United States through the leadership of AAPI women, girls, and gender-expansive communities in solidarity with other communities of color. Our goal is to highlight and end the intersectional forms of violence that impact our communities. We do this work in solidarity with other communities of color.

We are led by and support the leadership of Asian and Pacific Islander women, girls, and gender-expansive community members. Our aim is to strengthen the political and social platforms of Asian and Pacific Islander communities by building and supporting an alliance across fields, communities, and experiences. Through research and advocacy, movement-building series, summer healing and leadership institute, and the annual

#ImReady Movement conferences, we provide a platform for Asian and Pacific Islander women, girls, and gender-expansive communities to identify and build upon their communities’ histories of resistance and to further mobilize their communities towards progressive social change. Our work is to encourage our communities to tell their stories, to heal, and to organize to end the intersections of violence within and against our communities.
