Stand With Asian Americans

Stand with Asian Americans (SwAA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to advancing workplace equity, combating discrimination, and empowering Asians in America. As America’s first legal civil rights organization focused primarily on combating anti-Asian workplace discrimination, SwAA’s mission is to protect and advance the rights of Asians in America, through the power of law, education, and community.

SwAA burst onto the scene 5 years ago when Justin Zhu, Board Chair and Co-Founder and a group of business leaders came together and boldly proclaimed:

“We, the Asian American business leaders of America, are tired, angry and afraid — and not for the first time.

We are tired of being treated as less than American, subject to harassment and now, every day, we read about another member of our community being physically attacked — simply for being Asian. We are afraid for the safety of our loved ones. We are angry that our families can no longer go outside in their own neighborhoods where they have lived for decades because it may not be safe."

Now, 5 years later, our fight continues, please consider joining our movement.
