BACKGROUND:
Once a US colony, the Philippines is still a country with great US government
support and cultural influence. There are currently 5,000 US troops in
the Philippines. Human rights abuses in the Philippines have skyrocketed
in recent years. Poverty is so great that one in ten Filipinos lives abroad
to support their families back home.
What is the history and current situation in the Philippines? What can
we do, as church people, community members and migrants, to support peace
and justice in the Philippines and for Filipino migrants everywhere?
DIRECTIONS:
From Journal Square PATH: Right on JFK Blvd, left on Newark Ave, Left
on Tonnele Ave, Right on Broadway. 95 Broadway will be on the left.
