RAISE

New York, NY

RAISE (Revolutionizing Asian American Immigrant Stories on the East Coast) is a pan-Asian undocumented youth group based on the East Coast. Founded after Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was announced by the Obama Administration, RAISE aims to create safe spaces in immigrant and Asian American communities while advocating for humane immigration policies. RAISE uplifts the leadership of immigrant and LGBTQ youth through organizing, leadership development, community education, and coalition building. Through political activism, RAISE organizes at the grassroots level to reimagine justice, reclaim the dignity of pan-Asian undocumented people, and center the voices of immigrant and LGBTQ youth in the fight for immigrant rights.
