Reject Trump! Reject Fascism Everywhere!
The Malaya Movement calls on the Filipino-American community to go out and vote in the U.S. local and presidential elections. Let us show through the ballot our vote for human rights and democracy by rejecting the fascist regime of Donald Trump.
We call on the Filipino-American community to join the rest of the American people in defending the electoral process from any attempts of sabotage by fascist elements, by way of voter suppression, organized violence or even a fascist coup.
We must continue to be vigilant. Trump has been inciting violence and disruption from his rabid supporters. His regime has been encouraging the right-wing and white supremacist groups across the U.S. to sow violence both during and after the elections if the results do not favor him. There are also reports of systematic voter suppression nationwide.
Lastly, we want to remind our community that our fight for human rights and democracy does not start and end in the polling stations. We must get organized. Only an organized mass movement can defeat fascism. Beyond the elections, let us continue to take action in support of human rights and democracy both in our local communities here in the U.S. and back home in the Philippines.
