AnakBayan East Bay invites you to get down with....
Social Justice Academy
Starts: (7/14/08), 5:30 - 7:30pm
@ Filipinos for Affirmative Action office
31080 Union City Blvd, Suite 104
The goal of AnakBayan East Bay's Social Justice Academy is to educate, organize, and mobilize Filipin@ youth in Union City around issues of social justice and social change with a special emphasis on and in connection with the principles of the movement in the Philippines towards true and national democracy.
AB EB Social Justice Academy (SJA) Overview
SJA will meet at the Filipinos for Affirmative Action Office in Union City, and the meeting time will be from 5:30pm to 7:30pm every other Monday. New folks are always welcome to join in on the sessions.
The youth of SJA will engage in educational discussions on existing power structures like capitalism, sexism, racism, and so forth in connection to their own struggles. They will also investigate and study the current conditions of the Philippines while also examining its relationship to Filipinos in the U.S. SJA youth will also be given basic organizing skills that will help them to build and sustain a campaign.
Another goal of AB EB is to plug all of the participants at the end of Summer into some type of group where they may utilize the knowledge and skills that they learned in SJA, be it in AB EB or an existing local campaign. However, during SJA, participating youth will be invited to attend events and mobilizations.

STOP THE POLITICAL KILLINGS IN THE PHILIPPINES !! OUST GMA !! PART 1
About me: ANAKBAYAN East Bay is a comprehensive
national democratic mass organization of
Filipino youth and students in the eastern
portion of the San Francisco Bay Area. As a
chapter of ANAKBAYAN Philippines, ANAKBAYAN
East Bay stands in solidarity with
the youth and peoples’ movements for
genuine National Democracy in the Philippines.
ANAKBAYAN East Bay upholds the interest
and demands of the Filipino Youth and the
people by
(1) engaging, organizing, and mobilizing
the youth and students in the East Bay
around the collective interests of poor and
working-class Filipino communities living
in the United States and
(2) linking these struggles to the popular
campaigns for jobs, land, education, civil,
and political rights, and social services
waged by youth in the Philippines.
The U.S. government, which is currently engaged in a borderless “war on terror,” will be very happy with the impending implementation of the Human Security Act of 2007 (HSA) – also known as the Anti-Terrorism Law – in the Philippines. But the Filipino people have no reason to rejoice when the law begins to take effect. Under the said law, rebellion, insurrection, and coup d’ etat are classified as “acts of terrorism.” It will not be difficult for the government to tag its critics as member of “communist front organizations” or “fronts for rebel soldiers” and let them bear the brunt of the HSA. The biggest loser here will be human rights, which is already under attack with the spate of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances, and the relentless attempts of the Macapagal-Arroyo administration to curtail civil liberties.

Always glad to help whenever we can and always happy to help pass on the message. Thanks to all the folks in Anakbayan that are always happy to answer some answer. I saw a lot of people who I knew personally just learning about whats happening and now wanting more knowledge. And one thing they all had to say was that the work folks are doing are good work. So Maraming Salamat so inyong lahat!
