Congratulations to the leaders and members of the Filipino Educators Federation of Louisiana! FEFL was conferred the International Democracy Award in AFT's recently concluded National Convention in Seattle, Washington. The award is given by AFT “to highlight the continuing struggle for human rights around the world.” Migrant and labor rights are human rights and as we have always underscored in this blog, these are rights that we must defend and fight for.
As our collective action is resulting to initial victories, this recognition gives all of us teachers the needed affirmation and encouragement to pursue the ends of justice.
Here is a video shown in the AFT convention before the award was presented.

Tuloy ang laban! Ingrid, we will always be behind you!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a very good blog . I have been following on this because a good Filipino teacher friend of mine was victimized in my country. It's so upsetting yet I am happy to learn the good news . Keep on dear friends. I will be praying for your case.
