Chinese Progressive Association, Boston
Boston
Founded in 1977, CPA is a grassroots community organization which works for full equality and empowerment of the Chinese community in the Greater Boston area and beyond. CPA’s activities seek to improve the living and working conditions of Chinese Americans and to involve ordinary community members in making decisions that affect their lives. Its membership is made up predominantly of Chinese immigrants and the Chinese-speaking; most are workers in low wage industries, working families, or low-income elderly. CPA plays a unique role in the Chinese community as the primary organization focused on involving ordinary immigrant working people in decision-making for community and social change. It has no single-issue focus because we believe that people have many concerns: jobs, education, freedom from discrimination, and a clean and safe living environment.
