UNITY STATEMENT ON DUTERTE’S 5TH STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS

Dirty Energy is Dirty in More Ways Than One
To the San Miguel Corporation, how dare you claim as one of your values that you are “good neighbors”?

Free the Calaca 6!
The Youth Advocates for Climate Action Philippines strongly condemns the terror-tagging and intimidation of our land and environmental defenders in Calaca, Batangas. We call for the immediate release of #Calaca6.

Happy World Environment Day!
The environmental struggle cannot be separated from the different struggles happening today. There can be no climate or environmental justice without social justice. Let us continue to stand united in the face of the challenges of our times and reclaim our democratic spaces so we can all take part in building a system that puts people over profit and defends our environment defenders; a society where climate justice is the new normal.

Climate justice now! System change, not climate change!
Today, we raise our voices to appeal for rational actions to avoid even more disastrous effects of climate change by changing our current profit-driven economic system to a more sustainable one that caters the needs of the people and the environment.
