NEGROS YOUTH SAYS: JUSTICE FOR RJ LEDESMA
Our beloved writer, activist, friend. The Negrosanon youth mourn the loss of our community member who transformed not just the way we see the world, but how we forge a better one that truly serves the people.
Youth organizations, student publications, and artist groups stand together in collective grief, rage, and solidarity to demand justice for RJ Ledesma. We call for a just and genuine investigation on the massacre that transpired in Toboso. Ultimately, we demand that the roots of poverty, landlessness, and exploitation be eradicated in the most depraved areas of Negros that led RJ and other young activists to its fields and communities.
May the soil of Negros never again be tainted by the blood of its youth. May the lands of Negros return to the calloused hands of the people that take care of it.
