Preview: Malaya Movement Immersion Trip 2024

Last month, Malaya Movement chapters and affiliate members across the United States participated in our first-ever immersion trip to the Philippines to learn about the human rights situation and economic realities of communities on the ground.

Families and community members from different classes and sectors throughout Bulacan, Laguna, Negros, and Zambales shared how they have been unable to afford basic necessities such as food and water, access sustainable work or basic job protections, live without the threat of eviction or demolition, or till their lands without interference from corporate land grabbing and violent militarization.

Despite increasing government repression and state neglect, members witnessed how the Filipino people continue to militantly organize to assert their human rights and struggle for their land and livelihoods.
