Getting Together was a newspaper published by the I Wor Kuen (IWK),
a revolutionary Asian American organization. The name I Wor Kuen was inspired
by the 1900 Boxer Rebellion that fought against imperialism in China.
It means "Society of Harmonious Righteous Fists".
Centered in New York, IWK was made up of students, workers and
activists. Some of the activities that IWK undertook included organizing
a free tuberculosis testing campaign in Chinatown, fighting for a health
center, opposing tenant evictions and harassment of youth and shopkeepeers,
organizing Vietnam War draft resistance, and providing "Serve the
People" programs.
In 1971 IWK merged with the Red Guard Party of San Francisco.
IWK would later merge again in 1978 with several groups to form the League
of Revolutionary Struggle.
