Kapit Bisig Kabataan Relief & Rebuild
Donation protected
Hello friends! Anakbayan NJ is sending two delegates, Yves and Joelle, on Kapit Bisig Kabataan's Relief and Rebuild Mission. This summer, they will volunteer in the areas in the Philippines affected by Typhoon Haiyan. They have been working hard to fundraise, but as time starts ticking towards their travel dates, they still need help in raising airplane fare at roughly $1800 each. Collectively, help send them to the Philippines! Please donate what you can, anything at all means the most, and PLEASE SHARE!
To give an idea of who we are here are some of our accomplishments in 2013:
Early this year, the Florida 15 Trafficked Filipino workers were granted their T-Visas which allows them to work, adjust their immigration status and even petition their families. Anakbayan NJ played a role in drumming up their case in the media and raising awareness in the community about the realities of labor trafficking.
Fought for and won the establishment of the first “in-state” Immigrant Affairs Commission in Jersey City.
Raised awareness about the Filipino immigration experience and build support for genuine immigration reform throughout Jersey City and across New Jersey.
Helped in gathering support for the Bayanihan Relief & Rehabilitation effort and have successfully convened the first meeting of Taskforce Haiyan New Jersey
Last but not the least, Anakbayan NJ helped lead the campaign and win the historic passing of the Tuition Equality Act in New Jersey also known as the New Jersey DREAM Act.
Here are some things we are planning to work in 2014:
NJ DREAM Act 2.0! Together with other youth & students in NJ, we’ll be fighting for access to state financial aid for undocumented youth.
Student Debt – We are also aiming to take part in the campaign against student debt
Help for the Philippines – Organizing for a solidarity & relief mission to the victims of typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
We’ll be continuing our work on immigrant and workers rights by organizing Filipino immigrants and workers
We will continue educating, organizing and mobilizing the youth for the rights and welfare of our communities here in New Jersey and back home in the Philippines.
