 Although initially staffed mostly by ethnic Koreans, KIWA grew to encompass Asian-Pacific American and Latino organizers and members.The Spanish language ""Alianza de trabajadores inmigrantes del Barrio Coreano"" had been in common use since the early 2000s; however the English language name was officially changed in March 2006 from "Korean Immigrant Workers Advocates" to "Koreatown Immigrant Workers Alliance".The Korean language "한인노동상담소" (Korean Worker's Center) has been changed to 한인타운 노동연대 to signify its geographical focus rather than on an ethnic group.
