🌾 Join us at our upcoming events! With support from , , and .gathering we have put together fundraising events to help youth delegates go to the Philippines.
This will allow them to be fully immersed with communities to deepen their understanding on- human rights, the true conditions of the country, and the people’s struggle for:
Land!
Livelihood!
& national sovereignty!
Ordinary filipino people struggle to acquire their basic needs as they endure corruption and repression- especially those most marginalised like- peasants, fisherfolk, workers, and indigenous peoples.
This is due to the philippines semi-colonial & semi-feudal system, which keeps it in a state of worsening economic crisis that only benefits the ruling class and foreign powers.
Their fighting spirit persists- despite the poverty and hardship caused by relentless
exploitation of public resources.
This systematic exploitation continues as
the legacy of plunder and deception carries on under the Marcos Jr. Government.
These injustices have fueled the nation’s recent civil protests demanding accountability from corrupt officials for their embezzlement of public funds and criminal neglect of disaster management.
An example of such injustices would be:
Flood control projects-despite large amounts of funding, these projects were recently exposed as defective or non-existent due to bureaucratic corruption.
The philippines faces on average, 20 typhoons yearly, claiming thousands of lives
and liveable land.
The immediate issues of the filipino people are not isolated tragedies but symptoms of a deep rooted systemic crisis.
The true depth of the filipino struggle can only be fully understood through direct immersion and solidarity with their communities.
Only through this is where we can truly see, understand, and be moved to take up their causes as our own.
