Health and Safety are major issues for immigrant women workers in garment, electronics and other low-wage industries – including neck, back and arm injuries as well as toxic chemical exposure. AIWA health and safety programs work to prevent injury so that workers can have respect and health on the job.

Youth Build Immigrant Power Project develops the leadership and organizing skills of low-income Asian immigrant youth in Oakland – many of whose mothers are low-wage workers. Through training and campaigns, YBIP engages young people in seeking solutions to injustice in their community.
