USA Youth SUPPORT KABATAAN PARTYLIST

Ugnayan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (Linking the Children of the Motherland) NY/NJ and Kabataang maka-Bayan USA (Pro-People Youth), convening organizations of Kabataan Partylist -- USA Chapter, declare its unwavering support to the Kabataan Partylist in the May 2007 elections in the Philippines.

As immigrant and second-generation Filipino youth, Ugnayan and KmB share the hopes and aspirations of Filipino youth worldwide for genuine progress, social transformation and nation building in our homeland. We understand that the joblessness and crippled education system in the Philippines force thousands of youth and our families to leave the country every day. Corrupt, dishonest, puppet leaders have too long threatened our future, and we as youth want change!

We recognize that now is the time for youth to push for a youth sectoral representative who is honest, principled and pro-people, and will truly represent the interests of the youth as a vibrant sector of the Filipino people both in the Philippines and abroad. Ugnayan and KmB support the Kabataan Partylist representatives and are launching a campaign for their vote in these critical weeks before the election.

The recent arrest of Bayan Muna Representative Satur Ocampo on false charges, the continued incarceration of Anak Pawis Rep. Crispin Beltran, and the impending arrest of Gabriela Women's Party Rep. Liza Maza are cowardly acts of a regime clinging desperately for power, and show a blatant disregard for the people's will and democratic vote. We are more determined than ever to educate, organize and mobilize our sector to fight for justice for Ka Satur, Ka Bel and Ka Liza, to demand fair and military-free elections and to support the Kabataan Partylist, in particular, to represent the voice of Filipino youth.

Filipino youth in the Philippines and in the US face common struggles. Here in the US, we demand fair access to education. We resist militarism on our streets and in our schools. We fight for legalization, family reunification and worker protections. We struggle against systemic racism, sexism and heterosexism in all their forms. We strive to create a dynamic counter-culture that is free from the materialistic, career-driven, decadent culture that is dominant in the US. We work for the advancement of our community and link ourselves with the basic masses of youth, students, domestic workers, service workers and women. And we stand with Filipino youth in the homefront who are courageously fighting for our people's basic rights to life and livelihood.

Kabataang Pilipino, tayo ang pag-asa at kinabukasan. Filipino Youth, we are the hope and the future.

Tayo naman sa Kongreso! Onwards to the Philippine Congress!

Mabuhay ang Kabataang Pilipino! Long live the Filipino Youth!

Mabuhay ang pandaigdigang pagkakaisa! Long live international solidarity!

The only way we have a chance of changing things for the better is to strengthen the bonds that tie us together and challenge the status quo. In what ever capacity we can to do that should be welcomed and built on.

KEEP IT FRESH!!!
