Akbayan means, “Embracing in Friendship.” Along with the SJSU community, other universities, the Pilipinx community, and the larger community, we strive to increase our knowledge of the Pilipinx American culture and share the beauty of the heritage. Akbayan started out with a group of Pilipinx American college students from SJSU gaining consciousness about their heritage and culture. The group was inspired to create an organization based on the Pilipinx American culture. In 1976, Akbayan was born. Initially, it started out as a social group where Pilipinxs had a chance to meet new people. Over the years, it has evolved to become an organization concerned with cultural and community concepts as well.
