Toronto, ON–The Filipino Canadian Youth Alliance/Ugnayan ng Kabataang Pilipino sa Canada (FCYA/UKPC) invites everyone to a panel discussion on November 24, 2018 entitled “Make the Youth Count: Rise Against Fascism”. This event will provide a space to share experiences of activism and community organizing under the current intensifying right-wing populism that have continued to attack especially racialized communities and the working class globally. It will also aim to better equip ourselves with the knowledge of what fascism means in our current times and how youth and students can play a crucial role at the forefront of the resistance against fascism and towards a larger movement for social change.

In Canada, rising student debt, flexible, contractual and part time employment becoming the norm for young workers and the prospect for those graduating post-secondary institutions, it is crucial we demand and continue to fight for a more meaningful and secure future for ourselves and the generations to come. With right-wing attacks continuing to claw back basic civil liberties that previous social movements had fought for, how can we progressive youth and students continue the fight for social justice and freedom in our current times.
