Join us on Thursday, December 9, 2021 in honor of International Human Rights Day for a virtual vigil with ritual, song, and call to action. We will center Filipinx voices impacted by inhumane U.S. immigration and incarceration policies, and US-backed human rights abuses in the Philippines.
We invite people of all faiths, cultures, and traditions to join us in embodying our Philippine values: magpagaling ng kababayan (healing of Filipinx community), paglaban (to fight), pagbangon (to rise up), and pagkikibaka (to struggle).
Speakers include:
- Rev. Henry Pablo, Los Banos and Dos Palos United Methodist Church (UMC)
- Rev. Jeanelle Ablola, Pine UMC
- Rev. Jojo Gabuya, Fellowship Church of Reconciliation
- Estelito Adiova, community leader in Imperial Regional Detention Center
- Maria Legarda, Asian Prisoner Support Committee and Kasama ng Kalayaan
- Shelly Clements, IM4HI volunteer and Kasama ng Kalayaan
- Rev. Fel Cao, Faith and Riverside UMC
- Johanna Dela Cruz, National Council of Churches in the Philippines
