Peasant farmers in the Philippines are on the frontlines of overlapping crises—climate breakdown\, systemic corruption\, land dispossession\, militarization\, and repeated violations of their basic rights. \nPeasants are a class of people in the Philippines who work on the land of a feudal landlord—not to be confused with its derogatory connotation in Western contexts.  For this month of solidarity\, join us as we immerse ourselves in the lived realities of peasants through a narrative activity and teach-in. Together\, we will connect the peasant struggle to the climate crisis and entrenched systems of corruption and land dispossession enforced by the state and backed by foreign corporations and banks. Through this collective dramatization\, participants will not only witness the resilience and struggles of peasant communities but also be given a few options to stand in solitary. The workshop will close with a way to support political prisoners in the Philippines—many of whom are peasants and peasant rights advocates—and with concrete calls-to-action to advance genuine land reform and the broader fight for national democracy.  \nPlus\, enjoy Jeff’s homemade Suman—a steamed sticky rice cake that peasants often eat.  \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\nJeff (he/they)Jeff is an organizer with Canada-Philippines Solidarity for Human Rights (CPSHR) and regional coordinator for the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP Canada).
