When we founded CPA almost thirty years ago, As we work to improve the living and working some of us were young people coming out of the standards of Chinese Americans, our local strug.. movement of the Sixties and Seventies, returning gles need to build strength in order to challenge to the community to make a difference. We our misplaced national priorities. believed in ordinary people changing their own lives and society. We came out of the movement thirty years ago, and today we have an important role to play in Now, it's no longer a fashionable thing, but it's still rebuilding the movement. As CPA's work has what we believe in-the importance of putting grown, we have more responsibility to connect ordinary people at the center of creating change. with other communities and organizations to make an impact. Together, we can build a new move.. · And when we look back over the years and try to ment for change and ensure that working people assess what impact we have had, we can honestly will have a place in Boston. say that we have helped people make a difference in so many ways: translation for unemployed workers, interpretation at city hearings, bilingual ....suzanne Lee, Chairperson ballots, greater political clout, and the chance for the immigrant working class core of Chinatown to survive as the neighborhood develops.

Across the country, many Chinatowns have been gutted or wiped out by urban renewal and gentri.. fication, but here in Boston, Chinatown still has the chance to remain a place where people can live. This is the direct result of resident organiz.. ing, as well as the crucial support from the broader community that wants working people to have a place in the city. We still have a long way to go, but we are confident that Chinatown has a fight .. ing chance to survive and grow.

These are the accomplishments of thousands of ordinary people, not just of one organization.

At the same time, CPA represents that organizing center that people need.... to lend experience, back them up, and believe in their leadership. That's why it is so important for CPA to be Building a Center for Grassroots Leadership.

10. · Realizing the Vision

From 1985 through 1994, the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA) and thousands of others in Chinatown organized to oppose three successive proposals for a parking garage on Oak Street's Parcel C. In the course of this struggle, the community and the City developed a vision of a community center on Parcel C.

More than a decade after successfully preserving Parcel C for community development, the Metro... politan sits on Parcel C, with 251 units of mixed... income housing and the permanent homes of three non... profit agencies.
