MOVE was founded in 2017 in order to create opportunities for community-centered work calling back to the Third World Liberation Front’s objective to provide relevant education to transform our communities. Many Asian American student organizers during that time went on to develop organizations that would serve the most pressing needs of the community across the Bay Area.
Today, MOVE continues to honor that connection by providing undergraduates with the opportunities to work with Asian American community based organizations (CBOs) that are continuing this legacy of movement work!

MOVE coordinators work as a team to lead meetings, manage program logistics, and connect the on and off campus community in shared struggle.
Are you ready to grow your community organizing skills as part of a community network developing a pipeline of Asian American organizers? Apply to be a MOVE Coordinator!"]
