Organizer, Writer

State Power Caucus

Bob Wing has been a social justice organizer, activist and writer since 1968. He cut his teeth in the Third World Strike for Ethnic Studies at the University of California at Berkeley which was met by the sustained, armed iron fist of the State but nonetheless prevailed. A proud “1968er,” Bob was part of the first wave of the Asian American and people of color movements in the U.S. Like thousands of other young activists of the time, he quit school and threw his body and soul into the radical movements of the time, but always focused on the fight for racial justice at home and abroad. He was the founding editor of ColorLines, a national publication of race and organizing, and War Times/Tiempo de Guerras, a bilingual newspaper opposed to the war in Iraq in the early 2000s, and national co-chair of the large antiwar coalition of the time, United for Peace and Justice. Bob currently works with the State Power Caucus, a newly-formed grouping of 22 statewide social justice community/electoral organizations in 15 states united to help defeat Trumpism and build independent social justice power. His focus has been helping to build the racial and social justice movement to truly mass proportions and power to meet the dangerous challenge of the far right and neo-liberalism.
