About me: PINAY* Sa Seattle is a collective of PINAYS celebrating our multifaceted identities, revolutionary history, and rich culture. We work to build a community in the Seattle area invested in educating, defending, and advocating for the human rights of Filipinas globally.
PINAY is part of the women's sector of BAYAN-USA, an alliance of progressive Filipino groups in the U.S. (www.bayanusa.org)
We Envision...
Liberation by and for all Filipinos living in the diaspora through a national democratic movement that will gain sovereignty for the Philippines.
International solidarity for a Philippines, free from US intervention and all other forms of foreign domination.
Filipina women globally have full access to basic human rights including healthcare, education, affordable housing, livable wages, fair working conditions, safety, environmental health, creative expression and self determination for themselves, their families and their communities.
Gender justice with a historical understanding of race, class, heterosexism and anti-imperialism.
A movement that creates safe and intentional spaces for Pinays from different generations and class backgrounds to share, learn, and engage in resilient action, centering the experiences of the most marginalized Filipina women.
A movement for women’s liberation that is grounded in the National Democratic movement, developed with women’s leadership and invites men to be accountable for undoing sexism and gender oppression.
Pinay sa Seattle is also committed to working for genuine national liberation and democracy in the Philippines through defending the rights of women, children and progressives. For more info on campaigns, contact Donna Denina, Vice Chair: donnalyn@gmail.com.
Pinay sa Seattle also sees culture and the arts as powerful tools for transforming our global community. For more information,
contact our Cultural Coordinator,

Member and community education is a core piece of Pinay’s work. Through education and cultural expression, Filipinas are able to reconnect to their history and the national democratic movement for liberation in the Philippines.
