Advancing Justice-LA Board Member and longtime community leader John Lim looks back on his service following the 1992 Civil Unrest in Los Angeles.
When I was in middle school, my mother was a victim of assault and battery. However, due to her limited English proficiency, she was unable to communicate to the police what had occurred to even make a police report. I felt helpless and angry about my mother's inability to access the justice system. It was at that moment that I decided to become an attorney -- to bring justice for crime victims and expand access to Asian Americans.

After more than 18 years on staff – 15 as Vice President – it is with mixed emotions that I share that I will be leaving Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Los Angeles at the end of April 2018. I am incredibly honored and proud to have helped lead Advancing Justice-LA’s fierce work for nearly two decades, fighting for immigrant and civil rights and building a progressive Asian American voice for justice.
