Our Journey
Our journey started with fighting with the pandemic. Established at the beginning of 2020, WeStar Alliance is dedicated to fairness, justice, peace, and humanity. More than 50 Chinese American associations in New England united to support China in fighting COVID-19. The Alliance was rapidly formed to collect donations and send the urgently needed medical supplies to the hospitals in China. Most medical supplies were sent to the temporary hospitals, known as FangCang, and permanent hospitals in Wuhan, the city that suffered most in China.
As the pandemic has spread to the U.S., Westar Alliance is now focusing on supporting the U.S. by collecting donations, procuring medical supplies from China, and distributing them to hospitals, police stations, senior homes, and other places with urgent needs. The initiative also includes but not limited to watching the discriminatory situation for and offering support to the Chinese Americans and help the Chinese American businesses survive during the pandemic. It also shares verified pandemic-related information with the community.
After the pandemic tapers off, many members of the Westar Alliance started a new chapter. NECAA, New England Chinese American Alliance is dedicated to promoting civic engagement and social welfare of New England Chinese Americans.
