The Celebration of Justice is CAA’s largest annual fundraiser and brings together friends and supporters for a night of celebration and renewing our commitment to social justice. Over 400 guests attend this special event each year, including public officials and prominent leaders in the Asian & Pacific Islander and civil rights communities. We also honor community leaders who have furthered the cause of protecting immigrant rights, promoting language diversity, and remedying racial injustice.
