Join Metro DC Democratic Socialists of America and the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) to learn about and discuss the roots of the civil war in the Philippines! Why has a peasant guerilla army persisted in armed struggle for more than 50 years despite successive “total war” strategies of US puppet governments to crush it? How does US backed counter-insurgency against the Left create a state of de-facto martial law in the Philippines? Why has the Philippines remained under US domination for more than a century? How can we defend human rights in the Philippines under assault by the US-Marcos regime? These questions and more we will answer together in December.
Don’t know much about the Philippines? No worries! First time discussing the civil war? No issue! All are welcome to come and learn more to build a solidarity movement for the Philippines.
