Did you know that Philippine National Hero Jose Rizal was only 26 when he wrote the novel that threatened Spanish colonial hold in the Philippines? Join us to learn about the history of Filipino youth who have created change, our role today in these pressing times and how we can come together to transfer knowledge into action. Whether you care about environmental justice, human rights and immigrant rights, we welcome you in your journey towards activism.
