Koreatown Immigrant Workers Alliance (KIWA)
Representative: Danny Park
Koreatown Immigrant Workers Alliance (KIWA), Los Angeles, CA. KIWA’s Restaurant Workers Justice Campaign set precedents both by uniting Korean and Latino workers and by mounting an industry-wide effort that forced Koreatown restaurants to raise sub-minimum wages and substandard working conditions. KIWA has also won living wages for Korean supermarket workers. Its current campaign focuses on tenants’ rights and affordable housing in Koreatown.
Danny Park, Co-Founder & Executive Director. Danny co-founded KIWA in 1992. Danny is one of ten 2005 Alston/Bannerman fellows.
