Asian American Organizing Project (AAOP)
St. Paul, MN
We are a grassroots nonprofit organization that empowers young Asian Minnesotans (14-35 years old), prioritizing those holding LGBTQ+ and women/femme identities, to create systemic changes towards an equitable, conscious, and just society.
Asian American Organizing Project (AAOP) collaborates with local and national partners on issues affecting young Asian communities, such as voting rights and access, civic engagement, and climate and reproductive justice. We address these issues through youth participatory action research, grassroots organizing and canvassing, and narrative shift to co-create community change. Our organizing efforts are currently focusing on three main issues: (1) Civic Engagement, (2) Reproductive Justice, and (3) Climate Justice.
