Send KSO to Thailand

Kalikasan Solidarity Organization is an environmental justice organization fighting in solidarity with the Filipino people in their struggle for land, self-determination, and freedom from foreign domination. We are also a member organization of the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP). ICHRP is a global network of organizations, concerned about the human rights situation in the Philippines and committed to campaigning for just and lasting peace in the country. This November, KSO has the opportunity to attend ICHRP's 4th General Assembly and “Peace We Want” Conference in Bangkok, Thailand, and we are hoping to send 7 of our members to this critical event.

In the context of instability and the escalating attacks on political, social, and economic rights in the Philippines, the imperative for solidarity and resistance grows. The path toward peace, human rights, and justice, long established by the Filipino people, continues to garner the support of the international community. The Conference and 4th General Assembly is an opportunity to collectively educate ourselves on the changing global and domestic context, to assess our strategies over the past 3 years, and to determine our plans to strengthen our solidarity and resistance in the years to come. Sharing space with other ICHRP members from all over the globe and with organizers waging the struggle on the ground in the Philippines will be critical to KSO's ability to effectively participate in this movement.

A few of us who are committed to traveling to Bangkok cannot independently afford the costs of the plane tickets, passport fees, and conference registration fee. To collectively overcome this barrier for our low-income members, we need to raise $4000 and are humbly asking for support from our partners in the struggle for justice. Thank you so much for your support!
