Kent's impact was international in scope, organizing worker-led movements that advanced the interests and needs of the most marginalized, always with a fearless and tenacious commitment to challenging all forms of societal oppression. Ken cared deeply about his students and their development. In honor of this dedication, UALE also invites you to support the Kent Wong Memorial Scholarship<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://uale.org/civicrm/mailing/url/?u=1824&qid=120395__;!!GIqKXF0_-xZi!sog0p9tXWIuA6Sc9v0eo8HsPr-QgxGyvwqFvEO6eQ0BQsbN_dW5A43MGmPP_JBzTmUKXK0StYNvJUH3qcCywAF7J7w$>.
