It’s halloween and we’re full of treats 🎃🍬
Immigrants Rising logo.
Dear John,
October has been an eventful month filled with all sorts of treats, starting with Pilipinx American History Month (PAHM). PAHM is a time of celebration of the diversity in the Pilipinx diaspora in the U.S., and it is also a time of remembrance of those who came before us, such as the Morro Bay Pilipinos and Farmworkers’ Movement organizers, Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz. Pilipinx and Pilipinx-Americans make up one of the largest Asian populations within the undocumented community. PAHM has allowed me to reflect on my work and celebrate the undocumented Pilipinos that I work with, like Dean ([link removed]) , Hans ([link removed]) , and Cris ([link removed]) . It is an honor to work alongside them and be in service not only to the undocumented community but also the Pilipinx community.

Happy halloween! 🎃
