Our Story

Asian Americans for Equality (AAFE) was founded in 1974 in Manhattan’s Chinatown by community activists who protested against discrimination in employment during the construction of Confucius Plaza. This grassroots movement has evolved into a comprehensive community development organization dedicated to advancing racial, social, and economic justice for Asian Americans and other marginalized communities.

AAFE has created 1,200 affordable homes, dispensed 2,500 small business loans, and served 35,000 community members annually.
