To mark the 40th anniversary of the Philippines’ EDSA People’s Power protests, the Luskin AAPI Caucus at UCLA is hosting a film screening of the 1983 documentary, “Arrogance of Power.” This documentary shows the fascist might of the Marcos regime and how militarization and human rights violations were institutionalized in Philippine political life. This event serves as a reminder of the vigilance required to protect human rights from abusive and corrupt powers. 

Join us as we discuss the historical importance of the EDSA Revolution and the lessons we pull from it to navigate today’s political climate. We will also share information about the UCLA Asian American Studies digital exhibit Never Forget, a digital exhibition of political posters and oral histories chronicling the transnational Anti-Martial Law Movement.

Filipino catering will be provided by LA Rose Cafe; spots are limited, so food is first come first serve.

Additionally, we will hold balikbayan box donation drive to support typhoon relief(which one/s?) in the Philippines, in collaboration with the Filipino Migrant Center of Long Beach! We encourage folks to please bring medical supplies, non-perishable goods, and/or toiletries to donate for typhoon relief in the Philippines.
