February is Black History Month

Like our black American brothers and sisters, Filipino migrant workers who are forced to leave our families and our homeland  because of deep poverty and unemployment caused by the global neoliberal economy, are also victims of capitalist exploitation and violence. Like black Americans, we are also victims of  racism that has fueled the hate and violence against Asian American communities,  

The Black History Month in February of 2023  is ending but we know too well that the fight of black Americans, Latinos and Asians against capitalism and racism  is deeply rooted and systemic. Our shared struggles continue and it will take deep political education, community mobilization and strong solidarity among our communities to build our collective power, fight back and win.

Today, we call on Filipino migrant workers and labor trafficking survivors to stand with black Americans and all people of color. Their fight is our fight! Their liberation is our liberation!
