Ahri is a new organization, founded in December 2019. We exists to challenge the broken system and create new pathways for our community so that no one lives in fear of deportation, and everyone has access to education, healthcare, affordable housing, and a healthy work environment. The core founding staff of Ahri are seasoned community organizers, activists, and advocates who are trusted by community members. [AHRI (??): A traditional word (????) in Korean that means "paving a new path"]. The central programs at Ahri include community organizing, civic engagement, immigrant rights, and legal services.
