Throughout October and beyond, ICHRP is campaigning to build international solidarity with the peasants of the Philippines. Here’s a look at what’s coming up this month.
In the Philippines, a majority of the population are peasant farmers who subsist mainly on agriculture. These peasants suffer the brunt of the impacts of government corruption & state violence, and stand on the frontlines in the struggle for self-determination and genuine land reform.
As we seek to expand solidarity support for the Filipino people’s struggle, it is critical we increase support for the the intensifying struggle of the peasants against corruption, plunder, fascism, and foreign dominance.
