We invite you to join AARW’s 45th Anniversary Gala, a powerful gathering celebrating our resilience, victories, and the deep connections that sustain us! Every five years, we come together to honor our history, recognize the organizers and visionaries who paved the way, and recommit ourselves to the work that lies ahead.
This celebration is an opportunity to nourish our spirits, build solidarity, and strengthen the movement for justice. In a time of growing uncertainty, especially for our immigrant community, this event reminds us that we are not alone—we are part of a powerful, intergenerational community that continues to rise, resist, and reimagine a future where we all thrive.
