Pilipino Workers Center (PWC)

Today, we celebrate Philippine Independence Day and honor the generations of Filipinos who fought for freedom and dignity.

As we commemorate this day, we recognize that the struggle continues. We remain committed to fighting the ongoing impacts of colonialism, imperialism, exploitation, and injustice wherever they exist.

We honor Filipino workers, caregivers, and immigrants whose labor powers our communities and whose collective action moves us closer to a more just and equitable future.

Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan! 🇵🇭

"This is another way that they are actually raising the numbers of deportations. It's clearly unjust because they're not even given a chance to clear their names because there are no charges, there are no prosecutions." - Aquilina Versoza, Executive Director, Pilipino Workers Center

NPR has tracked deported Filipino sailors who say they were accused without evidence of possessing child sexual exploitation material. Almost none have been charged or prosecuted.
