Filipino Youth For Social Justice - 2nd Annual Canadian National Day of Action

Join Filipino-Canadian youth in their struggle for equality and social justice!

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!
