纽森宣布10月25日为「Larry Itliong日」：菲律宾裔农工领袖诞辰113周年 1965年Delano葡萄罢工发起人
萨克拉门托——加州州长加文·纽森10月25日发布公告，宣布2026年10月25日为「拉里·伊蒂利翁日」（Larry Itliong Day）。公告全文如下：
加州纪念开创性的劳工领袖与民权倡导者拉里·伊蒂利翁。伊蒂利翁出生于菲律宾，后来十几岁时移民美国继续学业，并由此开启他毕生的事业：为他人赋权。
1930年代在美国成长期间，伊蒂利翁与许多菲律宾人一样面对不公与歧视。伊蒂利翁没有接受这一现实；他亲历的种族主义与经济不公，催生了他一生的行动主义。作为流动劳工在阿拉斯加的渔业与罐头厂工作期间，伊蒂利翁帮助创立了阿拉斯加罐头工人联合会，为工人争取更好的工作条件，包括八小时工作制与加班工资。伊蒂利翁后来参加了第二次世界大战，战后定居斯托克顿，在那里继续他的组织工作。在斯托克顿，他参与组织了1948年芦笋罢工——那是第二次世界大战后第一场大型农业罢工；1956年，他在斯托克顿创立了菲律宾农场工人工会。伊蒂利翁、菲利普·维拉·克鲁兹（Philip Vera Cruz）与其他领袖还共同参与创建了农业工人组织委员会。
成为这场具有分水岭意义的农场劳工运动的领军人物后，伊蒂利翁与科切拉谷的葡萄工人结盟，为争取更好的工资而抗争。1965年，伊蒂利翁与菲律宾裔美国人社区中备受尊敬的长者「马侬」（Manongs）在德拉诺组织起来，对抗压榨性的葡萄种植者。不久后，马侬们与农场工人领袖及全国农场工人协会联合，共同组建了美国联合农场工人联合会（United Farm Workers of America），并发起全国抵制葡萄运动，最终促成首批农场工人工会合同。
伊蒂利翁先生对加州产生了巨大的影响，他为没有声音的人发声倡导。在菲律宾裔美国人历史月期间，我们以他诞辰113周年之机，纪念这位非凡的人物，铭记他与马侬们所体现并激发的自豪与勇气。让我们铭记他们的讯息：「Isang Bagsak！」——我们彼此相连，同起同落。
因此，我，加文·纽森，加利福尼亚州州长，特此宣布2026年10月25日为「拉里·伊蒂利翁日」。
为资证明，我已于2026年10月25日在本公告上签名，并加盖加利福尼亚州大印。

Newsom Proclaims October 25 as Larry Itliong Day: Filipino American Farm Labor Leader Honored on 113th Birth Anniversary
SACRAMENTO — Governor Gavin Newsom today issued a proclamation declaring October 25, 2026 as "Larry Itliong Day." The text of the proclamation follows:
California celebrates the trailblazing labor leader and civil rights champion Larry Itliong. Itliong was born in the Philippines, later immigrating to the United States as a teenager to continue his education — and begin his life's work: empowering others.
Growing up in the United States in the 1930s, Itliong, and many other Filipinos, faced injustice and discrimination. Itliong did not accept this reality; his first-hand experience of racism and economic injustice gave rise to a lifetime of activism. As a migrant laborer in the fisheries and canneries of Alaska, Itliong helped found the Alaska Cannery Workers Union to secure better working conditions, including an eight-hour workday with overtime. Itliong went on to serve in World War II and later settled in Stockton, where he continued his organizing efforts. There, Itliong helped organize the Asparagus Strike of 1948 — the first major agricultural strike after World War II — and in 1956, he founded the Filipino Farm Labor Union in Stockton. Itliong, Philip Vera Cruz, and other leaders also helped create the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee.
Emerging as a leader in the watershed farm labor movement, Itliong allied with grape workers in the Coachella Valley in their fight for better wages. In 1965, Itliong and fellow Manongs — respected elders in the Filipino-American community — organized against exploitative grape growers in Delano. Shortly after, the Manongs joined forces with farmworker leaders and the National Farmworkers Association, later joining to create the United Farm Workers of America, beginning a nationwide boycott of grapes that led to the first farmworker union contracts.
Mr. Itliong had an incredible impact on our state and advocacy for those without a voice. During Filipino American Heritage Month, we take the 113th anniversary of his birth to recognize an extraordinary man and remember the pride and courage he and the Manongs embodied and inspired. Let us remember their message of "Isang Bagsak!" — we are all connected, and we rise and fall together.
NOW THEREFORE I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim October 25, 2026 as "Larry Itliong Day."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 25th day of October 2026.
GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of California
