The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others. -bell hooks Sunday Jump closes our 8th season by coming full circle, guided by the words of bell hooks. Throughout the season, we explored the many ways we can express love radically by approaching our art, our community, and ourselves "with l...ove, without shame."

DAY 3 HAPPENING NOW.

Today, we celebrate Larry Itliong's birthday. Larry Itliong was a Filipino-American labor leader and organizer, leading labor organizations in Alaska and throug...hout the West Coast. On September 7, 1965, Larry Itliong convinced the grape workers at Filipino Hall in Delano, CA to vote to go on strike. The next day, the Delano Grape Strike began and more than 2,000 Filipino farmworkers, members of Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC), marched off the vineyards, demanding $1.40 an hour, 25 cents a box, and the right to form a union. Larry Itliong soon contacted Cesar Chavez and asked Mexican farmworkers to join the strike. He understood that all workers had to stand together in their fight for justice. Chavez didn’t think his people were ready to go on strike. But he took Itliong’s request back to the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), and along with Dolores Huerta spoke to the nearly one thousand NFWA members. In a unanimous vote, the Mexicans joined the Filipinos. A year later, AWOC and NFWA merged to become the United Farm Workers (UFW). - Excerpts from Gayle Romasanta Smithsonian Magazine piece "Why It Is Important to Know the Story of Filipino-American Larry Itliong" Gayle Romasanta is the co-author of Journey for Justice: The Life of Larry Itliong and the founder of Bridge and Delta Publishing.

That’s a wrap for day 1 of #fpac2020 from the @filamartsla team! Now, who’s hyped up and ready for day 2? What were your favorites tonight?!

On August 2, 2002, the City of Los Angeles officially designated the Temple-Beverly corridor, the epicenter of Southern California's Filipino American community... as "Historic Filipinotown," one of the first such named neighborhoods in the country. The neighborhood is the historic home for many early Filipino immigrants who came to the United States during the 1920s and 1930s. It houses many Filipino residents, businesses, organizations and Filipino historic and cultural sites, including the Filipino Christian Church, the Filipino Cultural Center, the nation's first monument dedicated to Filipino WWII Veterans, the mural "Gintong Kasaysayan, Gintong Pamana," St. Columban Church, a Catholic Church founded in 1946 dedicated to Filipinos who couldn't worship anywhere else, and many other spaces and landmarks. The Filipino Town movement began in the 1970s when community leaders lamented the absence of a discernable Filipino enclave in a city with many ethnic enclaves for other communities. These enclaves serve as centers where ethnic communities gather, organize, and access resources for their community. Many leaders believed a lack of a "Filipino Town" manifested in to the lack of cultural visibility, political power, and access to government reources for the largest Filipino community outside of the Philippines. The decades-long struggle saw many Filipino American leaders lobby multiple city officials, advocate for consolidation during redistricting, and unite for a common goal. Today, community leaders continue to promote the sustainability of its residents, economic development, and historical/cultural preservation of the neighborhood.
