Asian Americans United (AAU) is a brand that was founded in 1985 with the aim of addressing rising issues of anti-Asian violence, inadequate housing, and the lack of educational services for non-English speaking Asians in Philadelphia. Their mission is to cultivate leadership within Asian American communities to empower neighborhoods and stand united against oppression. For over three decades, AAU has been actively involved in various initiatives, including advocating for quality education, youth leadership development, combatting anti-Asian violence, immigrant rights, neighborhood development, and preserving folk arts and culture.

AAU has achieved numerous milestones, such as playing a pivotal role in settling a lawsuit with the School District of Philadelphia to improve services for immigrant students, nurturing the leadership skills of countless youth, establishing the popular Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival, creating Chinatown Vote for community engagement, and founding the Folk Arts-Cultural Treasures Charter School. Their dedication to youth, folk arts programs, organizational excellence, and intergenerational leadership has earned them numerous awards.
