The Asian American Resource Workshop (AARW) is a political home for pan-Asian communities in Greater Boston. We are a member-led organization committed to building grassroots power through political education, creative expression, and issue-based and neighborhood organizing. At AARW, we envision a world that is free from violence and oppression, where people can live with dignity and have their basic needs met with ample opportunities to thrive. We seek a future that honors all Asian Pacific Islander communities, including diasporic and Indigenous People of East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, Pacific and Caribbean Islands, Native Hawaii, and Oceania. Founded in 1979 as one of the Boston area's first pan-Asian organizations, AARW is an intergenerational social justice nonprofit that promotes Asian American identity while addressing contemporary issues affecting our communities. Originally based in Chinatown, we are now located in Dorchester and focused on the Greater Boston area.
