AFIRE 2024 End-of-Year-Giving Campaign ❄️

Help us meet our goal of $3,000 by December 31!

We’re nearing the end of the ‘ber months and it has been quite a ride. The world looks a lot different at the close of 2024 than it did a year ago. 

With the incoming administration, we expect challenges we have faced previously, as well as those we have not yet anticipated. It is clear this administration will target immigrant, queer, and trans communities and that Trump will begin enacting policies against us on day one. That includes us, our families, our friends, coworkers, and loved ones.

We were here with and for our community during the first Trump administration and we're going to be here for you again. Connection, collaboration, and digging in deep will be key to ensuring the sustainability of this work and we need your help to make it happen. We have set up an end-of-year-giving campaign with a goal of $3000. AFIRE Chicago can reach this goal with your support and continue to foster Seeding AFIRE, Tagalog 101, AAA Day, and many other spaces and opportunities that grow our community, advocacy, and critical understanding. Please consider donating by clicking the yellow donate button just below. Any amount is appreciated, every donation makes a difference.

We know you believe in our work, maraming salamat po!

Team AFIRE

Creating spaces to grow and amplify our voices for the liberation of oppressed people everywhere.

AFIRE is a community organization that creates a political home with and for Filipinx/a/os* to confidently organize toward the liberation of immigrants, workers, domestic workers, queer and trans people, and oppressed peoples everywhere.

*We use Filipinx/a/o as shorthand for Filipinx/Filipina/Filipino to honor all gender identities.

As an organization founded by Filipino immigrants, we understand a legacy built by and for the people. We have evolved our practices and frameworks to continue centering people and communities for the liberation of all peoples from oppression. Through historical and expanding engagement, our communities of focus include immigrants, domestic workers, queer people, and trans people.

How We Move

AFIRE navigates this work guided by a set of frameworks, such as our values, that keep us accountable to our community and one another. Through our collective leadership practice, we work together to integrate our values into our everyday activities and programming.

Our Team

We are a diverse, multi-generational group committed to creating spaces to organize and engage with Filipinx/a/o people around the issues that affect us.
