In 2024, GAR members met in Chicago to deepen our collective understanding about the multiple Right-wing forces that our communities are dealing with and the various strategies these forces are using to attack our communities. Since then, a committee of GAR members, including AAAN, ACE, APEN, DRUM, HANA Center, Lavender Phoenix, and SEAC Village, have been refining how we can "wedge" Right-wing forces against each other and sway our communities back towards us.

Today, with working-class communities being hardest hit by the Trump Administration imposing tariffs, coming after refugees and immigrants, and punishing student and youth organizers for their unwavering commitment to Palestine, we all feel the urgency to build up our organizing and protect our working-class communities.

The Wedge Workbook helps guide organizers to learn more about this "wedge issue" framework and how you can use it to inoculate right-wing narratives and organizing in your working-class bases.

We provide this workbook as a free resource in support of organizing for racial justice and the liberation of Asian Americans and all other oppressed communities.
