On July 21, 2024 BAYAN USA Southern California along with progressive Filipinos and allies mounted a People’s State of the Nation Address action at the Los Angeles Philippine Consulate, to protest Marcos Jr’s lies at his 3rd State of the Nation Address and share the true realities of the Filipino people . Over 200 attendees united under the banner of“Soberanya, kabuhayan, serbisyo, at karapatan – ipaglaban! Singilin at panagutin ang rehimeng US-Marcos! ”(Fight for sovereignty, livelihood, services, and rights! Charge and hold the US-Marcos regime accountable!) especially as the US-puppeted Marcos Regime ramps up the sell-out of the Philippines and Filipino people.
From the Housing for Juanita campaign, the fights for workers rights in the service and health industries, the struggle of indigenous people and peasants in the Philippines, US military violence and destruction, and the struggle for national liberation across the world, our 2024 PSONA program opposed the inaccurate and incomplete SONA that the Filipino government delivers yearly.
In the face of foreign and local opressors and wherever Filipinos are forcibly displaced, we will continue to struggle for freedom, sovereignty, and democracy, and for a future where we can all return home. Join the fight for genuine change against the US-Marcos regime! Join a BAYAN organization, build a national democratic organization, and join the fight for national democracy!
Atin ang Pinas! US out of the Philippines! China, hands off!
US out of the Philippines! US out of everywhere!
Junk all unequal military agreements! Junk EDCA! Junk VFA! Junk MDT!
Philippines is not for sale! Defend Philippine Sovereignty!
Reject the PERA Bill! Pass the PHRA!
Kabuhayan, karapatan, at kasarinlan, hindi Cha-Cha! (Livelihood, rights, and sovereignty, not Cha-Cha!)
Labanan ang kapabayaan at pandarambong ng estado! (Fight state neglect and plunder!)
Sahod itaas! Presyo ibaba! (Raise wages! Lower prices!)
Trabaho sa Pinas, hindi sa labas! (Jobs in the Philippines, not abroad!)
