 By pushing out a publication such as "Getting Together", IWK believed that they would be able to share their particular observations and stories of oppression to the rest of the nation.Eventually, it spread out nationally towards the Bay Area, joining forces with the Red Guards (a similar organization based in San Francisco).The group was also generally persecuted by more conservative groups within the Chinese and Asian American community, like the CCBA, who denounced IWK’s revolutionary activities as being disruptive to Chinatown (Wei 215).
