Learn about the Canadian mining project that caused the worst mining disaster in Philippine history\, and how we can meaningfully support Indigenous land defenders locally and internationally.   \nAgenda: \n\n6:30PM – 7:00PM | Doors open & Introductions\n7:00PM – 7:30PM | Film Screening\n7:30PM – 8:00PM | Presentation on Canadian Mining and Militarization in the Philippines\n8:00PM – 9:00PM | Group Discussion & Maoj Fundraiser Prize Bid\n\nWe will also be holding a fundraiser at this event for a political prisoner’s legal defence and support CPSHR’s ongoing organizing efforts – see details below.  \nMarklen Maojo (Maoj) Maga is a Filipino union organizer and political prisoner who was arrested due to his work supporting the strikes of Jeepney drivers\, who are public transport workers in the Philippines. \nJeepney drivers were protesting against the corporate-driven\, foreign-oriented Public Transport Modernization Program\, which goes against worker’s need for decent and stable work\, livable income\, freedom of association\, and their economic and democratic rights. \nFebruary 22nd\, 2025 will be Maoj’s seven-year anniversary of incarceration\, yet he still faces unfounded charges of murder and attempted murder in locations in the Philippines which he has never visited! \nWe are raising money to fund Maoj’s basic needs while still imprisoned\, as well as his costly legal defence fees. Of the money that is raised\, 75% will go to Maoj\, and 25% will go to the ongoing organizing efforts of CPSHR as we continue to organize until Maoj\, and the hundreds of other political prisoners in the Philippines\, are finally free. \n \n\n\n			\n				Donate to Free Maoj\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Land Acknowledgement\nThis event takes place on the unceded homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish)\, səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and kʷikʷəƛw̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Nations.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				ABOUT THE FACILITATORS\nCPSHRCanadian-Philippines Solidarity for Human Rights (CPSHR) is a Vancouver-based anti-imperialist organization in support of National Democracy in the Philippines.
