Desert Stonewall Democrats October Virtual Membership Meeting

Desert Stonewall Democrats October Virtual Membership Meeting celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month and Filipino American History Month

To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and Filipino American History Month, we will present a program on how local labor history in the Coachella Valley and San Joaquin Valley brought forth the modern-day labor movement for farmworkers.

After a brief introduction, we will screen the documentary "DELANO MANONGS: FORGOTTEN HEROES OF THE UNITED FARM WORKERS MOVEMENT" (2014, 30 minutes) directed by Marissa Aroy.

This film presents the story of farm labor organizer Larry Itliong and a group of Filipino farm workers who instigated one of the United States farm labor movement’s finest hours – The Delano Grape Strike of 1965 that brought about the creation of the United Farm Workers Union (UFW).
