D8 Event: For our second day of Human Rights Week, ICHRP-US NE are so excited to be partnering with @resist.war and A Call to Action on Puerto Rico for a panel on militarized disaster relief and climate colonialism in the Philippines and Puerto Rico, as part of War Resisters League’s teach-in series, Forgotten Wars (wars often forgotten about by the anti-war movement in the US). The event begins soon at 3PM. Come out and bring a friend!

Tonight begins our first day of events for HUMAN RIGHTS WEEK! Join CUNY APALSA and ICHRP-US NE for our Film Screening & Banner Painting Night! We’ll be watching the short film “DEFEND: Stories of Mindanaoans in the Time of Martial Law”, as well as preparing a banner to use in the upcoming mobilization for human rights in the Philippines on December 10. CUNY Law, 6PM. See you there! End US Support for the Duterte Regime! Cut US Aid to the Philippine Military & Police!

GM gang gang gang!! Shoutouts to our awesome kasama who joined us on video chat too. . Last night we learned about the Sagay 9 massacre, the red tagging and killing of Atty. Ben Ramos, and the importance of conducting Fact Finding Missions. We know who is actually killing peasants, workers, activists, human rights defenders. We are not afraid to fight. JUSTICE FOR SAGAY 9! JUSTICE FOR BEN RAMOS! . We talked about the upcoming Puerto Rico and Philippines Peoples Tribunal report back this Friday, and we also delegated tasks for our big upcoming week of human rights events from December 8-December 10, which includes our 14th anniversary as an organization.

From last night’s film screening of “Portraits of Mosquito Press” and our Q&A session with one of the documentary’s protagonists, renowned press freedom activist Edith Burgos! Maraming salamat for coming from the Philippines to host this event and speaking to us about you and your husband’s experiences of the suppression of critical and alternative press during the Marcos dictatorship. We are emboldened to carry on the message of human rights work here because of your light and kindheartedness despite continued oppression toward your family then and now, including the forced disappearance of your son Jonas Burgos in 2007. The strength of your faith in guiding your activism and the courage you have to speak the truth of history reminds us all of the role we play in solidarity as those concerned for the Philippine human rights situation internationally.
