Just days after thousands rallied for Sara Duterte’s impeachment, including Malaya Movement USA members, the House of Representatives finally took action.

In recognition of Anti-Trafficking Month, Malaya Movement USA asserts our steadfast commitment to the defense of human rights for all, including victims and survivors of human trafficking. The Philippines has one of the largest numbers of trafficking victims in the world, with an “estimated 784,000 people living as modern-day slaves” with between 60,000 and 100,000 Filipino children being victims according to The Exodus Road. These modern day slaves are forced to live in unsafe conditions as either victims of human or sex trafficking.

Drop the charges against the Makabayan Coalition and those unjustly charged under BP 880!

As Trump returns to the White House, Malaya USA remains steadfast in building an organized movement against fascism. We call on the Filipino-American community to join us in the fight against the fascist Trump and Marcos tandem in order to protect the welfare and safety of the Filipino community, and to defend democracy, human rights, and sovereignty for the Philippines.
