Supporting Asian Americans in Federal Government
AAFEN champions fairness and inclusive representation for Asian Americans in the federal workforce.
About Us
In 2020, dedicated Asian American civil servants created Asian American Federal Employees for Nondiscrimination (AAFEN) to address discriminatory treatment at work and warrantless national security suspicions largely based on their family backgrounds.
Mission.
AAFEN fights discrimination against Asian American government employees, contractors, military service members and federal fund recipients who face undue suspicion as security threats due to their race, heritage, or national origins.
Vision.
AAFEN demands a government that fully recognizes the American identity of Asian Americans, free from suspicion based on recent immigration history or familial ties.
