DA votes to Endorse Philippine Human Rights Act: Action tomorrow!
Yesterday, the AFT 2121 Delegate Assembly voted unanimously to endorse this Resolution in support of the Philippine Human Rights Act.
Anakbayan-USA and Kabataan Alliance, in partnership with Malaya Movement and the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines, invite you to join an emergency rally to condemn the attacks on indigenous communities in the Philippines. The action will call for the release of the Lumad 26, an end to attacks on Lumad schools, and justice for the Lumad and all land defenders. Speakers from the Philippines will be there to talk about the current situation.
On February 15, 2021, elements of the PNP, AFP, DSWD and paramilitary group Alamara entered Lumad Bakwit school in San Carlos University-Talamban Grounds, Cebu City for what they called a “rescue operation,” but in reality was a raid on the displaced Lumad community. Over 40 Lumad students and teachers were rounded up and removed from their evacuation school centers. Twenty-six remain in custody with the Philippine National Police. The attacks on Lumad have only intensified with the passing of the Anti-Terror Law.
We look forward to rally alongside you all to support our Lumad siblings. #FreeLumad26 #SaveLumadSchools
