Mission Statement

Our Guiding Pillars "CAKE"

  • Community –  Essential to our mission, our dedication to the community is founded upon the history of California’s Pilipinx students and workers who cultivated unity through collective action, community empowerment, and intersectional solidarity.

​

  • Advocacy – Built upon the backs of those who came before us, advocacy is central to our objectives as we work to seed change, fight against inequity and inequality, and pursue justice through avenues of community and political action.

​

  • Kulture – The unifying force that leads our community, culture is inherent to our collectiveness and identity. Beyond prevalent cultural artifacts, culture is defined by our resistance against colonialism and imperialism, preserving the richness of our history and people.

​

  • Education – As students and lifelong learners, our ability to study, critique, and educate is crucial toward building politically aware, culturally responsible, and critically conscious individuals capable of analyzing the needs of our community.
