In 2020, we will be celebrating the Lunar New Year, the Year of the Mouse. According to the Chinese Zodiac, the mouse is known to be clever, successful, and energetic.  Over the course of our 40+ years in the community, we have stayed true to serving Chinese Americans in Greater Boston by improving the living and working conditions of ordinary people and making sure we have a say in the decisions that impact our lives.  We work carefully with the community to plan our work, so that we focus on the issues that most impact our lives.

 

Some of our recent accomplishments include:

  • Launched a Chinatown Row House Preservation campaign with tenants, landlords, business owners and other community organizations to call for protective zoning for working class families and stop the expansion of investor-owned units
  • Provided tenant rights counseling to 70 households and helped over 40 families stay in their homes, find affordable housing or make necessary repairs in the past year
  • Counseling 48 individual workers and worker groups, helping them win $81,065 in unpaid wages in the past year
  • Building a citywide and statewide movement for social change through incubating a Massachusetts chapter of the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance, hosting quarterly People’s Assemblies with Right to the City Boston and reaching over 17,000 voters through convening the Asian Pacific Islander Civic Action Network (APIs CAN!).
