Today we honor #LarryItliong, a fearless Filipino American labor leader whose vision and courage helped ignite the farmworker movement. His story reminds us of what is possible when communities come together for fairness and dignity on the job.

Happy #CesarChavezDay! His work with Delores Huerta and Larry Itliong to co-found @ufw.bsky.social and organize farmworkers must continue on to protect the people who feed us. #CésarChávez #DeloresHuerta #LarryItliong #SiSePuede #UnitedFarmworkers #WeFeedYou #Solidarity #1u

Your donation goes to the application to the @cityofsanjose.bsky.social to rename a street for Larry Itliong & give greater recognition to the #filipino community that's been such an important part of #california.

Today, I made a monthly donation. I hope you do too.

Years ago, I launched an effort to get a #SanJose street named after #BarackObama. A bunch of community leaders, led by respected elders in the African American community, and supported by the AACSA, organized an effort to make this happen. In 2021, we succeeded!
