Catch the first-ever episode of Anakbayan LA Radio next Friday, February 3rd from 8-9:30pm at ustream.tv/channel/anakbayanla!
We’re stepping it up for 2012! This is the beginning of our monthly radio show that will air every 1st Friday.
We’ll have our very own Anakbayan LA DJ’s spinning live sets of progressive music on the 1’s and 2’s. In between DJ sets, we’ll have political discussions sharing our analysis on current issues that affect us all locally, nationally, and internationally.
We’re also keeping our ears to the streets with interviews featuring youth, workers, community organizers, and everyday people breaking down what’s really going on in the community and the world. And on occasion, you might catch a live performance sometime during the show…
For our first show, we’ll be discussing the fascist NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) that took away everyone’s constitutional right to a fair trial, the groundbreaking People’s State of the City event happening in Long Beach on February 29th, as well as our current campaigns for the California Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, Justice 4 Melissa Roxas, and US Troops Out of the Philippines.
It’s gonna be a fresh 90 minutes every month that you don’t wanna miss. Tell all your friends and let’s chop it up in the chatroom…
Serve the people!

Babae San Francisco EXPO REPORT BACK →
ROOTS & RESISTANCE
Babae Expo Reportback
In the summer of 2011, six women took a journey back to their motherland the Philippines. There, they learned about the conditions that everyday Pinay women typically face, and why so many Pinays are forced to sacrifice extensivel…y for their families. In the midst of struggle and exploitative conditions, we also witnessed the strength of our people to fight for what’s rightfully theirs… a legacy we continue as Filipinos abroad.
Join Babae on Saturday, January 21st (5:30-8pm) at the Bayanihan Community Center (San Francisco) for a reportback of last summer’s exposure trip. Learn about how you can support more Babae women to continue working with GABRIELA-Philippines, to advance the women’s movement in the Philippines. Also, learn about how you can also participate in an exposure trip!
Following after the program: A short Q&A session. As well as,
Some time to hang out, chill, catch some great conversations and enjoy some scrumptious Filipino street food with us Babae’s and folks from the community!!
Quote with 2 notes
The country is in deep trouble. We’ve forgotten that a rich life consists fundamentally of serving others, trying to leave the world a little better than you found it. We need the courage to question the powers that be, the courage to be impatient with evil and patient with people, the courage to fight for social justice. In many instances we will be stepping out on nothing, and just hoping to land on something. But that’s the struggle. To live is to wrestle with despair, yet never allow despair to have the last word.”
