Jason Wu, Attorney-in-Charge of The Legal Aid Society’s Harlem Community Law Office has been honored by PoliticsNY and amNY as part of this year’s AAPI Power Players list.

The list honors Asian American and Pacific Islander elected officials, business leaders, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and social and cultural advocates shaping the future of New York City.

In addition to his role at Legal Aid, Wu serves on Manhattan Community Board 11, and the board of directors of CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities to develop the leadership of working class Asian immigrants to combat gentrification and build neighborhood power in Chinatown and Astoria. He also writes op-eds on race and inequality, cross-racial solidarity, and intersectional social movements.

“There are many proud moments in my career,” Jason reflected. “But the ones where I have felt the most proud are in the moments when I’m speaking with clients and hearing the positive impact that I (or my team member’s work) have had on them and their families, and what is even more meaningful is seeing how our advocacy helped to empower them and transform their understanding of their own power.”

Congratulations to Jason. See the full list here.
