<p style="margin:0px;line-height:1.5;width:100%;max-width:100%">The Amado Khaya Initiative (AKI) is focusing its fundraising efforts on supporting the Amado Khaya Filipino American and Community Archive and the expansion of Filipino Studies. Now more than ever, people recognize the powerful legacy of Filipino farmworkers and how they advanced California labor organizing through cross-racial solidarity. By investing in AKI, you help build upon and expand what the Welga Archive initially achieved: honoring and safeguarding the histories of Filipino farmworkers. <a href="https://amadokhaya.org/filipinx-studies" target="_blank">AKI's Filipino American and Diaspora Archive (AKFADA) and Library</a>, currently housed at the Amado Khaya Healing House, will continue to document the experiences of our manongs, while honoring Filipina manangs, especially the legions of nurses who began settling in America after 1965. AKI will also ensure that Filipino Studies scholarship is supported through the publication of the <a href="https://escholarship.org/uc/alonfilipinxjournal" target="_blank">Alon Journal for Filpinx and Diasporic Studies</a>.
