Garcia/Ernest Tamayo Phone; (213)241-0995/(213)382-1819 Nov. 4, 2010 ALL SET FOR THE 9th VETERANS DAY MARCH, NOV.11 IN LA: MARCH FOR JUSTICE, EQUITY AND PEACE! Los Angeles? MARCH FOR JUSTICE, EQUITY AND PEACE! All is set for the Ninth Veterans Day Protest March next Thursday, November 11, 2010 in Los Angeles! We in JFAV calls on all community organizations, school and youth organizations in Southern California; advocates, veterans groups, widows and relatives of veterans to join the protest march to downtown Federal building on Veterans Day, November 11, 2010. The assembly area is at Search to Involve the Filipino Americans (SIPA) at 9;00 Am and the march route will be from Temple St right at Glendale to 2nd St to downtown Federal building. The march will start at 10;30 AM. The 10th Veterans Day Protest March was a carry-over from the Annual Veterans Day Parade in Historic Filipinotown started by People?s CORE and the Justice for Filipino American Veterans (JFAV) in 2001. It used to be a parade in honor of Filipino World War II Veterans who fought for America and freedom during the Second World War from 1941-1945. Youth/Veterans Participates Set to participate are Filipino American youth organizations from 16 schools, community and people?s organizations and non-profit organizations in Southern California. Some of the student and youth are Kappa Psi Epsilo, Chi Rho , XPO, TBD, Samahang Pilipino at UCLA, Kababayan of UC Irvine. Katipunan UC Riverside, CalPoly BARKADA, FASA from CSUN, Long Beach PAC, USC Troy Phi, Andres Bonifacio Samahan from San Diego to mention a few. Veterans and community organizations like the Society of Guerilla and Scouts (SGS), United Filipino American Veterans (UFAV), VFP-UC Chapter, AWARE-LA, Seniors for PACE (SPACE) , BANTAY PILIPINAS, ANSWER-LA, People?s CORE and others will send participants. Community youths like the Pro People Youth KMB from Los Angeles and San Diego, AJLPP. Carson Youth Movement, EJN and AFFIRM will also join the protest march. Also invited to speak are California Senator ?elect Gil Cedillo of District 45 and Consul General Mary Jo Aragon or their representatives. There will be a program before the march ?rally to downtown LA. From Parade to Protest The Justice for Filipino American Veterans (JFAV) has to change the theme from a parade to a protest when the Department of Veterans Affair (DVA) denied more than 20,000 veterans of their lump sum claims in 2009. These means the veterans have to go through a circuitous and tedious appeals process that eventually deny them of their claims. More than 46,000 veterans filed their claims in the Philippines and the United States but the DVA only granted less than 11,000 claims and flatly denied more than 20,000 others ?because they are not on the so-called Missouri List? The Justice For Filipino American veterans (JFAV) the Association of Widows, Relatives and Advocates for Equality (AWARE) and the Migrant Heritage Commission helped the veterans and widows and their heirs to file a civil suit against the DVA last October 8, 2010 in San Francisco. CLAIMS DENIED IS JUSTICE DENIED! JUSTICE AND EQUITY NOW! KARAPATAN NG MGA BETERANO AT BALO, IPAGLABAN! For more information contact Arturo P.
