National Day of Action calling for the Social Justice of Filipino Youth and the community

Please join Ugnayan ng Kabataang Pilipino sa Canada/ the Filipino-Canadian Youth Alliance on February 27, 2009 for our National Day of Action calling for the Social Justice of Filipino Youth and the community.

January 27, 2009 will mark the one year death anniversary of Filipino youth Deeward Ponte who tragically lost his life after being stabbed in Gray's park and later died in the hospital. In one month we will gather in support of his family and in memory of not only Deeward but the other Filipino youth who have lost their lives such as Mao Jomar Lanot who was beaten to death in 2003 at Sir Charles Tupper, and Charle Dalde fatally stabbed outside of his Richmond home last April.

We will continue our call to End Systemic Racism, Social Justice for the Filipino community and the scrapping the racist and exploitative Live-In Caregiver Program!

When: February 27, 2009 at 2pm
Where: Sir Charles Tupper Secondary- 419 E. 24 Avenue, Vancouver, BC. From Tupper we will march to Gray's Park for a candlelight vigil.
