Today on the show we are joined by Genesis and Carielyn, two organisers part of Anakbayan Sydney, a national democratic movement of Filipino youth.You’ll hear them speak to the current political climate and dangers in the Philippines, how it got to this, what they feel the diaspora’s responsibilities are, and the dissonance of talking to parents and elders who have been swayed by propaganda and disinformation. They also spoke about preserving story and memory, and the ways in which a collective and political identity can be shaped and reclaimed. If you are wanting to know more about their work or how you can show solidarity, you can get in contact with them here.
