🇵🇭 Filipino American History Month may be over, but our stories continue.

Our stories don’t stop at the end of October. Now more than ever, the Filipino American community must come together to raise awareness about the challenges our kababayans face in the Philippines, to seek justice for our detained Fil-Ams here in the U.S., and to remember the lessons of our history so we do not repeat them.

As our team transitions out of FAHM and begins planning next year’s programs, we want to keep the stories flowing — migration stories, family stories, community stories. These are the threads that connect us across generations and oceans.

💬 We invite you to share your story with us — in the comments, by message, or when you see us at community events. Together, we keep our history alive.
