Wraps Up Canada Speaking Tour
As part of a cross-country speaking tour in Canada, peasant leader and human rights advocate, Danilo “Ka Daning” Ramos concludes his visit with a press conference reflecting on the growing international solidarity for the Filipino people’s struggle for human rights, land, justice, and peace.
Throughout the tour, Ka Daning engaged with Filipino communities, human rights advocates, faith groups, labour organizers, students, parliamentarians and solidarity networks to discuss the worsening human rights situation in the Philippines, escalating militarization, attacks on activists and rural communities, and the continuing struggle of peasants and Indigenous peoples defending their land and livelihoods.
