We Are Home: 45 Years of Building Community
April 20, 2018 @ 6:00PM — 10:00PM Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Celebrate 45 years of immigrant and low-wage workers rights, youth development, and community organizing.
The current climate requires all 45 years of our community building and civic empowerment experience. In addition to resisting the racist and regressive direction of our national government, locally we are fighting for the ability of low and moderate income families to resist eviction and continue to live in their homes.
It's been 45 years of service, organizing and building the political power to manifest the community we deserve. In 1973, recent immigrants and young Filipinos founded FAJ (then FAA) to fight the discrimination, xenophobia, and racism our community faced. Incredibly, those issues are still at the forefront of our agenda.
In the spirit of resistance and optimism, the event will highlight FAJ's evolving civic engagement work as we defend and protect the most vulnerable among us.
Featured Speaker: Malcolm Amado Uno, Political Director, Million Voters Project (MVP)
Honorees: Alameda Renters Coalition and Urban Habitat
Program Emcee: Kimi Lee, Director, Bay Rising
Catering by: Dominic Ainza, local award-winning chef and FAJ board member, will prepare reception-style offerings of delicious small bites and light fare.
