I only met Kent once in person. Yet, it really shaped how I reconcile the history of AANHPI exclusion in pockets of labor and the power unions can bring to the community. I even had a draft email to Kent that sadly did not get sent before his passing. Rest in power.

Community Coalition on Instagram: "Today, we mourn the loss of labor leader Kent Wong. Kent's commitment to every worker showed generations of organizers what courageous, principled leadership looks like. His life’s work helped build a broader, more just movement rooted in solidarity and love. Community Coalition was honored to recognize Kent’s leadership with the Bert Corona Award at our 2006 gala. Nearly two decades later, his example still lights our path. Rest in power, Kent." 134 likes, 5 comments - cocosouthla on October 8, 2025: "Today, we mourn the loss of labor leader Kent Wong.
