About Us
East Wind ezine is an online publication focused on political and cultural issues of Asian Pacific Americans. Our goal is to inform our readers about critical issues such as immigration, civil and human rights, and identity and culture and to inspire greater participation in movements for social change.
Many of the volunteers for East Wind ezine also worked on East Wind: Politics and Culture of Asians in the U.S., which was published twice a year from 1982 to 1989 by Getting Together Publications. Although many of us are now in our retirement years, we continue to be active or have renewed our activism in the face of the rightwing and racist policies of the current administration. Furthermore, we wish to build bridges with younger generations of activists to forge a stronger movement.
