Malaya Movement USA vehemently condemns the US government’s clandestine anti-vaccination and anti-China disinformation campaign aimed at Filipinos at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. This psychological warfare operation, uncovered by Reuters, is an unconscionable act by the US military in an effort to discredit and attack its rival superpower, China, at the expense of thousands of Filipino lives. It contributed to unfounded anti-vaccination hesitancy at a time when the Philippines was experiencing some of the worst cases of COVID infections and deaths in the region.

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.

This year marks the 138th anniversary of the Great Upheaval, when hundreds of thousands of workers across the United States went on strike for an eight hour work day. In Chicago, workers confronted strikebreakers and were attacked by state authorities, which set off the Haymarket Affair that resulted in deaths and even more injuries. Since then, workers around the world commemorate May Day by fighting for fair wages, better working conditions, and an end to exploitative practices in the workplace.

Malaya Movement USA stands in solidarity with the thousands of students in universities across the US who are rising up in protest against the genocide in Gaza.

On April 18, 2024, more than 100 courageous students at the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University were met with fascist repression by the administration and mass arrests by the NYPD, but this only fanned the flames of fearlessness in students across the nation.
