🌱 What is Latino? Defining People Out of Existence
Day 2 | Cesar Chavez Monument, Latino Rights & Labor Organizing
Hey y'all, welcome back! 👋🏼
Outside of Bakersfield, CA, we dig deeper into Latino rights and labor organizing at our 2nd stop on the road. As we see ICE disappear our Latino neighbors and work to de-fund and attack Latino-led organizations, we must level-set on what it actually means to be Latino in the United States and how the old way wasn't working either.

No Kings October 18 Protest
Bring Your Grandmas Against #fascism and Karen’s for Good!
Depending on where you lean politically, the No Kings protests might spark joy or anger. The fascists are claiming the rallies are....anti-fascist. Speaker Johnson called the October 18 No Kings rally a “hate America rally” of “[t]he antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists…. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes.”
While there are real concerns about the liberal-leanings of this march and if they're intended for larger structural change, there is power in numbers. The No Kings on October 18 is a day to visibly show the mass resistance against authoritarianism. Will you be there? Find your local protest.

I heard Rev Smith was in front. Can you believe that good ole boy was there?!” Johnson called the October 18 No Kings rally a “hate America rally” of “[t]he antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists….
