Jason Wu Named to City & State's Asian Power 100 List

Jason Wu, Attorney-in-Charge of The Legal Aid Society’s Harlem Community Law Office, has been named to City & State’s Asian Power 100 List. Each year, the list recognizes inspiring individuals who have made a significant impact in the Asian community.

In addition to his day job, Wu serves on Manhattan’s Community Board 11 in East Harlem and is currently a co-chair for GAPIMNY-Empowering Queer & Trans Asian Pacific Islanders, a queer and trans AAPI organization that focuses on community building, political education, and mutual aid.

Wu also writes extensively on race, solidarity, and the relationship between law and social movements. Most recently, they were interviewed by The Nation in a conversation on how we can understand and better respond to anti-Asian violence, which can be found here.

Congratulations to Jason for making the prestigious list two years in a row. Read the full list here.
