Online Forum sa Anti-Terrorism Act at Epekto nito sa mga Magsasaka
Dear Friends and Peasant Advocates,
Greetings of Peace and Solidarity!
We are inviting you to a webinar forum entitled,
“Magsasaka Hindi Terorista!: Online Forum sa Anti-Terrorism Act at Epekto nito sa mga Magsasaka”
on August 7, 2020 from 2:00-5:00 PM (see attached tentative program flow).
To discuss the salient points of the Terror Law and its implications on peasant organizations and their advocates’ struggle for land, rights and justice, we have invited Atty. Chel Diokno, Chairperson of the Free Legal Assistance Group.
This will be followed by a sharing of peasant organizations and advocate groups who will serve as reactors to tell their own experience of state repression and what they foresee will be the effect of the Terror Law for their sector in the coming days.
The webinar will also feature cultural performances by Ms. Mara Marasigan of the Unyon ng mga Manggagawa sa Agrikultura (UMA) and Sining na Naglilingkod sa Bayan (SINAGBAYAN).
The webinar is hosted by Anakpawis, UMA, Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas, AMIHAN Peasant Federation of Women, PAMALAKAYA National Federation of Fisherfolk Organizations, National Network of Agrarian Reform Advocates-Youth, Rural Missionaries of the Philippines, SINAGBAYAN, Sama-samang Artista para sa Kilusang Agraryo, Rural Women Advocates and Sentro para sa Tunay na Repormang Agraryo, which have been organizing the Peasant Update Online Forum since the start of President Rodrigo Duterte’s militarist Covid-19 lockdown.
We truly hope you would honor us with your presence and invite other groups who may be interested to join the discussion. You may join through Zoom (link to be given upon your confirmation) or watch the live feed at UMA or KMP’s Facebook page.
