DESCRIPTION:With 869 deaths  and over 200+ disappearances, illegal arrests, torture, 
 intimidation, and harassment, political killings continue to be an almost 
 daily occurrence in the Philippines since GMA took power in 2001. No one 
 has yet been prosecuted for these crimes and there continues to be complete 
 denial and lack of action from the Philippine government in regards to this 
 issue. The recent reports of United Nations Rapporteur Philip Alston, 
 Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and along with the report of the 
 GMA government-appointed Melo Commission, have found strong evidence of the 
 Philippine military and police as the perpetrators of these 
 killings.\n\nMonday, July 23 marks GMA's State of the Nation Address 
 (SONA). She will be going on Philippine national television to express her 
 administration's accomplishments in the last year. But the truth is, GMA is 
 bleeding the Philippine nation dry with her Administration's rampant human 
 rights violations and economic policies that continue to keep the majority 
 of Filipinos in poverty and drive an alarming number of Filipinos to work 
 overseas.\n\nJoin us as we express our outrage in front of the Philippine 
 Consulate to relay a strong message to GMA that Filipinos and 
 freedom-loving people in the U.S. are outraged by her Administration's 
 atrocities.\n\nWHEN: Monday, July 23, 2007, 5:30-7:00pm\nWHERE: San 
 Francisco Philippine Consulate, 447 Sutter St,\n(between Powell and 
 Stockton Streets) San Francisco, CA\n\n*Please wear black to commemorate 
 the 869 Filipino victims.\n\nSponsored by: Bagong Alyansang Makabayan-USA 
 (BAYAN-USA), Anakbayan – East Bay, babae – San Francisco, and League of 
 Filipino Students-SFSU \n
