July 8th: Global Day of Action Against Duterte’s Anti-Terror Law!

“When human rights are under attack, what do we do?

Stand up! Fight back!”

Greetings, Defenders of Democracy!

As many of you already know, President Duterte signed the Anti-Terror Law this past July 3rd, ushering in a new dark era for democracy and civil liberties in the Philippines. Despite the widespread criticism and concern from legal experts and renown human rights organizations, Duterte has chosen, yet again, the way of brutality and authoritarian rule by enacting a law that threatens to institutionalize his Martial Law-style dictatorship and place a chilling effect on the practice of democratic rights and constitutional freedoms.

But, as repression increases, so shall resistance...and with that we invite you to join us on July 8th for a Global Day of Action Against Duterte’s Anti-Terrorism Law as Malaya Movement chapters all across the United States take to the streets with our friends and allies--in front of Philippine Consulates, the Philippine Embassy, or community locations--standing up in unity against Duterte’s tyranny and fascism!

Please locate a Malaya Movement action near you, or contact malayamovement@gmail.com if you’re interested in holding an action in your area! 

Stand up! Speak out! Oppose Duterte’s Terror!

Makibaka! Huwag Matakot!
