This October, Malaya Movement USA chapters across the country took part in Filipino-American History Month. We joined different organizations under the theme “Struggle, Resistance, Solidarity, and Resilience” 

Each year for FAHM, Malaya Movement USA highlights the history and legacy of Filipino-led anti-fascist organizing against Ferdinand Marcos Sr.’s dictatorial rule in the Philippines and crimes committed under Martial Law in 1972. Marcos Sr.’s reign directly caused thousands of Filipinos to leave the country to escape political repression and the economic crisis caused by a system of unmitigated corruption he himself manufactured.

As the Philippine Congress investigates former dictator President Rodrigo Duterte’s War on Drugs, Malaya Movement USA reiterates our ongoing commitment to the victims and survivors of the deadly war. Our organization was founded in direct response to this mindless killing spree that many have been fooled into thinking ended with the elder Duterte.  This investigation is one step in holding Duterte and his fascist ilk accountable for the over 30,000 killed during his reign, but it is not enough.

Malaya Movement USA members from across the country are mobilizing for the Cancel RIMPAC actions in San Diego from June 29-June 30.

June 12, 2024 is the 126th “Independence Day” of the Philippines. The Philippines was the first country in Asia to win an anti-colonial revolution, and we celebrate that victory because it is a testament to the Filipino people’s determination for freedom. That fight lives on as the state of the Philippines’ sovereignty is in shambles, especially under puppet and sell-out Marcos Jr.

Malaya Movement USA uplifts the verdict of the International People’s Tribunal (IPT) held in Brussels on May 17-18 which found President Marcos Jr., former President Duterte, the Philippine Government, President Biden, and the U.S. government guilty of war crimes or violations of international humanitarian law.

Malaya Movement USA welcomes the recent Supreme Court decision declaring that red-tagging and vilification by association “threaten the Right to Life, Liberty, and Security of those accused,” as a result of a court case for activist and former representative of the party-list Bayan Muna, Siegfred Deduro, who was red-tagged by military officials in 2020.
