Historical Perspective of the Veterans struggle in Southern California

The conference will be the second to be held in Southern California since 1996. Since the late 1980s, Filipino Veterans of WWII have been struggling to be recognized and treated with the same respect and dignity as American Veterans.

People?s Community Organization formed JFAV for Reform and Empowerment (People?s CORE) as a campaign to gain veterans recognition on December 16, 1998.It continued the work of December 7 Movement (D7M) that launched the veterans campaign in December 7, 1993.

Samahang Pilipino at UCLA worked with the December 7 Movement and supported the veterans campaign since 1993 when Mark Pulido from Samahan became the first Filipino American UCLA student council president. Ever since Samahan has been a staunch advocate for the Filipino Veterans and the community advocacy for justice and equity.

Justice for Filipino American Veterans (JFAV) is a completely volunteer-run campaign of veterans, community members, y0uth, and students created to correct these historical inequities. "Equity and Justice through Unity" will seek to educate the community on these issues and empower them to contribute to the cause.

The conference is sponsored by Justice for Filipino American Veterans (JFAV) an alliance of more than 60 campus youth, students, community and veterans organizations and the Samahang Pilipino at UCLA, the largest Filipino American student organization in the United States.

Registration is for delegates and attendees.. UCLA students are FREE. Parking is .00 in Lot 6.
