Its purpose is to break down the wall that society has built around the community using myths and stereotypes and even the community's own apathy. The Asian Journal has also begun to move into the frontier of social and political issues that the mainstream media will not delve into, even though they are daily struggles that face the Asian community. The members of the journal hope that the journal will function as a medium for change in society's eyes and minds of which members of the Asian community are. During the school year the group has joint readings with other literary organizations and at the end of the year after the publication of the journal, the group holds a coffeehouse to celebrate. Meeting times vary.
Editors usually meet once a week.
