Kabataang maka-Bayan USA Pro-People Youth condemns the outright fascist Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (GMA) in its attempt to circumvent the democratic rights of the Filipino people by declaring a State of Emergency.
http://media.putfile.com/No-to-State-of-Emergency We raise our voices with the youth and students in the Philippines and praise their steadfast resolve to reject the fascist attempts of GMA. Fear not the water cannons, truncheons, or risk of arrest because your efforts are in line with the generations of youth before you who have stood up to dictators and demand peace based on justice. We demand an end of the State of Emergency so that campuses may reopen. We the youth and students in the U.S. will do our part to shed light on this injustice and garner political and moral support to oppose the impending return of Martial Law.
We call on the American public and the international community to condemn this blatant move by GMA to desperately hold on to power. We call on the progressive forces and freedom loving people to support the Filipino people’s desire for a just peace and democratic government that works for the interest of the people.
