Philippine National and Social Liberation

 

Details of the event:

Learn about revolutionary organizations struggling for liberation in the Philippines with a common goal of national democracy with a socialist perspective, under the banner of the NDFP. The NDFP follow a 12-point program that is laying the groundwork to free the Filipino people from feudalism, imperialism, and bureaucrat capitalism. These organizations are fighting to address the root causes of armed conflict in the Philippines and promote workers and farmers rights, Indigenous self-determination, the environment, and gender justice.

We’ll be meeting at 222 Spadina Ave. Unit C7 in the lower level courtyard, elevators are accessible in Chinatown Centre! Zoom link at cpso.pw/mar15 if you want to join online!

If you have ever been curious about the Filipino people's national democratic movement this is a great opportunity to learn more! We will have 🍪 food, 🎁 prizes, and a lively discussion. Hope to see you there!

While Manny went to his own event today at Paramita Centre, I went to this event in Chinatown.  They spoke about the revolutionary movements in the Philippines.  I met Emmett, Max, and Myka.  The latter is the Chair of Bayan, an alliance of progressive Filipino organizations.  Myka and I exchanged contacts and promised to meet at a different time.  She told me that she knows of, and has worked with, other folks who I work with at the Filipino arts organization that I volunteer for.

By the way, I've officially submitted my name for consideration to be the next Executive Director of the arts organization.  I've also been working to create instagram posts for the org acknowledging our outgoing Board Chair, and introducing our new Board of Directors.
