Fighting back against fascism!
As you read this, Malaya Movement members across the country are urgently responding to Trump's mass deportations, which have included Filipino immigrants, and renewed promises by this administration to fund violations of international humanitarian law in the Philippines, as well as a regional war with China that puts the Philippines in the dead center. We joined the streets on inauguration day to show our communities that we need to come out and band together to protect each other. Protect our communities against fascists and join Malaya Movement!
"We're in an urgent time. History shows us that when the powerful are threatened, they come for our rights. That when they see a chance to consolidate their power, they come for our communities. But history also shows that banding together to fight back is the only way to protect each other and keep those powers in check. I'm grateful to be with people who are ready to fight back and have so much hope for a better future." -Audine T., Malaya Movement Vice Chairperson, in protest of Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025
