Philippines Human Rights

November 19, 2008 at 1:00pm to 1:30pm

Location: PANA Offices (2357 Le Conte, Berkeley)

Rebecca Lawson, mission co-worker with the United
Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP), will share slides and personal stories about the human rights situation in the Philippines. Over 800 activists, pastors, journalists, and students have been killed during the current administration.

She will talk about the Church’s work to challenge the climate of impunity in the Philippines, and reflect on the impact that U.S. advocacy and solidarity has had on the situation.
