Adhikaar turns 17 today and we have so much to be thankful for. Seventeen years ago, in 2005, with $500 and a vision for social change, four immigrant women of color began a journey to ensure the voices and experiences of the Nepali-speaking community were at the forefront of social justice movement building and legislative advocacy in the US.
Today we are the country’s only worker and community center dedicated to serving and building the power of the Nepali-speaking workers and immigrants. Together we are developing a new community of leaders who push gender, class and other boundaries within their families, in their places of work, and within and outside the halls of government.
