REBUILDING LIVES THROUGH CREATIVITY AND COMMUNITY

Asian Solidarity Collective began as a grassroots movement dedicated to activating Asian American communities for radical and sustainable change. With deep roots in supporting community, cross-racial solidarity, self-empowerment, and collective AAPI power, a strong foundation was built.

Now, ASC is pivoting toward more direct community impact. Empowering formerly incarcerated youth and adults and providing the skills they need for successful re-entry by fostering personal growth.

Through creativity, skills training, and collective care, we build on each person’s unique strengths. We offer programs in multimedia production and graphic design, with a healing aspect integrated into our work. In addition to educational programs, ASC provides court support services—standing alongside individuals and families navigating the justice system.

Building Pathways, Restoring Dignity

When individuals return home from incarceration, they often face immediate challenges—finding employment, securing stable housing, and rebuilding self-confidence. ASC created the Alternatives to Incarceration Program to meet those challenges head-on. Through continuous mentorship, advocacy, and skills training, ASC helps participants navigate the barriers of re-entry and rediscover their strengths. More than just a program, it’s a community rooted in creativity, healing, and collective care—where each person is supported in building a future filled with purpose and possibility.

Support When it Matters Most

When crisis hits, ASC shows up. Our Rapid Response team provides immediate, hands-on support for individuals and families navigating the justice system — from court accompaniment and legal referrals to help securing housing, transportation, and employment. We move quickly to meet urgent needs with care and connection, ensuring no one faces re-entry or injustice alone. This is solidarity in action: community care, immediate support, and a commitment to justice when it’s needed most.

Strength in Shared Struggle

Asian Solidarity Collective was founded on the belief that liberation is collective—that our struggles are connected, and our healing must be, too. Through cross-racial organizing, education, and creative collaboration, ASC works to build bridges across communities. By amplifying AAPI voices while standing in solidarity with Black, Brown, and Indigenous movements, ASC helps foster understanding, unity, and action. Together, we’re building a future grounded in justice, compassion, and shared power.
