JFAV and the Filipino Community Salutes Companero Don White
We, in the Justice for Filipino American Veterans (JFAV) were profoundly shocked on the news of the sudden death of Don White, a dear comrade and friend of the Filipino World War II veterans and the Filipino immigrant community.
Don White, the Director of the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES) in Los Angeles, 70, died of a massive heart attack in his apartment last Friday, June 20, 2008 in Los Angeles.
Don White was an ever-active community leader who always supported people’s cause. He attended the First International Assembly of the International League of peoples’ Struggle (ILPS) on its founding in Zutphen, The Netherlands. He also was a founder of the Solidarity Committee for in Support of a Just and Lasting Peace in the Philippines (SOLCOM) in 2002 that work for the defense of Prof. Jose Ma. Sison and all Filipino patriots abroad against U.S. political persecution.
He had always espoused the Filipino World War II veterans cause as he always bannered the cause of the people of El Salvador and all oppressed people of the world. He was ever active and always drew parallels between the struggle of the Filipino people against the US-Marcos dictatorship and against the US-backed military and civilian junta in El Salvador.
He was a founder and a mover of the Southern California Fair Trade Network that mobilized against the WTO in Seattle in 1998. The Seattle Protests in December 1998 was the impetus for the revival of the massive American protest movement in the new millennium. He was active against the backlash of the Sept 11 attacks and joined the anti-war protest since September 2001 in Los Angeles.
Don White is an internationalist and a solidarity activist. We will continue your legacy of untiring support for the people of the third world struggles for social and national liberation!

Para Victoria Siempre, Don White Presente!
