UFCW 324 remembers a true champion of workers’ rights and a giant in the fight for a more just world, Kent Wong. As the longtime director of the UCLA Labor Center, Kent nurtured new generations of labor leaders. Our hearts are heavy with this loss to the labor movement.

Trump/ICE is arresting 660 immigrants a day, a rate that would take them 50 years to deport all 12M undoc immigrants (and that’s assuming no new ones come). This isn’t about “fixing the immigration system,” it’s about terrorizing Latinx communities.
