Film Screening and Reception: Becoming ourselves-How Immigrant Women Transformed Their World
7:00pm
- 9:00pm
Monday March 3 2014
New documentary film about how a social justice organization based in Oakland,
California—Asian Immigrant Women Advocates (AIWA)—focused on building longterm
collective leadership of limited-English speaking immigrants, and empowered
women and youth to become powerful agents of social
change.
AIWA has inspired hundreds of low–wage immigrant
garment, electronic and healthcare workers in the San
Francisco Bay Area. AIWA’s Community Transformational
Organizing Strategy (CTOS) has been a model for many
immigrant organizations. After 15 years, Young Shin
is taking CTOS on the road to foster a broader dialogue
with local communities in Canada and the U.S. about
the importance of grassroots leadership development in
community organizing.
