Asian Americans Advancing Justice (Advancing Justice) is a national affiliation of five civil rights nonprofit organizations. Though independently led, operated and funded--we share a common mission to promote a fair and equitable society for all by working for civil and human rights that empower Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other underserved communities.

Together, we fight anti-Asian hate and discrimination.

Here are the organizations that comprise the Advancing Justice affiliation:

In Atlanta, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Atlanta is an advocacy organization that serves one of the largest and most rapidly growing communities in the South.
In Chicago, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Chicago is the leading Midwest Asian American advocacy organization.
In Los Angeles, Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California, is our nation’s largest Asian American advocacy and legal service organization.
In San Francisco, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Asian Law Caucus is our nation’s oldest Asian American legal advocacy center
In Washington, DC, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Asian American Justice Center is the largest national Asian American policy advocacy organization.

We encourage community members who have experienced anti-Asian hate to share their experiences and report to our website StandAgainstHatred.org, which is accessible in Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese. Asian Americans Advancing Justice created this site in January 2017 to capture information about the increase in hate connected to the 2016 election outcome. Starting in February 2020, the overwhelmingly majority of reports involved accounts of anti-Asian harassment connected to COVID-19. Through Stand Against Hatred, we document hate crimes, harassment, and discrimination experienced by our community. As we state on the site, when people submit reports, they are aiding our efforts to monitor and push back against hate
