Asian Americans Advancing Justice Chicago is a regional nonprofit in the civic and social sector, based in Chicago, Illinois. It seeks to strengthen racial equity by organizing communities, advocating for policy change, and encouraging civic participation through coalition building and base leadership development. The organization runs programs to cultivate local leadership among diverse language-learning populations, including KINETIC for high school English learners, I Speak Power for adult English learners, and A Just Chi for at-large community members.

As an affiliate of Asian Americans Advancing Justice, the Chicago office participates in a national network that amplifies its civil rights work for Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and other underserved communities. Its activities center on three pillars: leadership development, advocacy through coalition work with groups such as Just Democracy Illinois and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, and efforts to increase civic participation in voting. In March 2026, the organization announced a partnership with AFIRE Chicago, reflecting ongoing collaboration to advance language-access and voter-engagement initiatives ahead of elections.
