PROPOSITION 54 INFO:
WHAT IS PROP 54?
Proposition 54, Racial Privacy Initiative:
Classification By Race, Ethnicity, Color or National Origin. Proposition 54 is one of the initiatives on the October 7th Ballot. If Prop 54 is passed, it creates a constitutional amendment that would prohibit California's state and local public agencies from collecting, storing, or using information on race, ethnicity, color, or national origin.
WHY PROP 54 IS BAD FOR THE FILIPINO COMMUNITY
Without access to racial data we will jeopardize:
-vital statistics that doctors and medical researchers use toprevent and treat disease
-health programs thatserve our communities social services and benefits for our manangs and manongs
-higher educational opportunities forour youth
-important research into diseases and health disparities that plague our sick, elderly, and disabled
-equal opportunity in housing, jobs and promotions, and financial incentives
-visibility as a distinct, proud andgrowing ethnic group in the state and nation
We want to be counted. For the first time in U.S. history our numbers can make significant influence on public policy and political and socio-economic outcomes.

a documentary about what they never told you about the Philippine / American War
(US, 2002; a film by Bernard Stone; narrated by Academy Award®-winning actress Susan Sarandon; featuring historian Howard Zinn)
Saturday, October 4, 2003 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Cantor Film Center * 36 East 8th Street, Theater 200
between University Place & Greene Street * Greenwich Village, NYC
SUBWAY: N/R to 8th Street or 6 to Astor Place or PATH train to 9th Street
Thousands of US troops recently returned to the Philippines to help "liberate" the archipelago from "terrorists." At the turn of the last century, thousands of US troops were sent to the Philippines to claim America's first colony. But the Filipino people waged a valiant war for more than a decade. Along the way, hundreds of thousands were killed: 50 Filipinos for every American.
This film explores the little-known Philippine-American War through the lens of a contemporary controversy over the return of war booty, the Bells of Balangiga, taken by the American military after a successful Philippine attack on a marine garrison on the island of Samar in 1901.
Discussion linking the past and present conflicts to follow featuring GABRIELA Network Secretary General, Dorotea Agustin Mendoza, and "Vestiges of War: The Philippine-American War and the Aftermath of an Imperial Dream 1899-1999" Editors, Luis H. Francia and Angel Velasco Shaw.
