As a Filipino organization dedicated to providing a space for marginalized youth to unite and fight for equality and justice, our voices must also be used to fight for the equality and justice of our fellow brothers and sisters. As Canadian-Filipinos, we have the ability to speak up about the rampant anti-Blackness in our communities and how we often appropriate black aesthetics and black culture for our own use without formal acknowledgement. Filipino's can be extremely vocal when it comes to our own issues, but we need to translate and focus that energy into helping others as well. The fight for equality does not stop when our own community is unaffected, but it is achieved when every life is treated with equal respect and love. We cannot sit idly and wait for things to change, rather, we must actively stand by our allies, amplify their voices, and acknowledge racism within our own communities. and they will always matter. We encourage you to sign petitions, donate to fundraisers, and to stand in truth and love with humanity.

As the growing concerns surrounding COVID-19 continues to evolve, we, as a team, have collectively decided to cancel our UCFSA March events. The health and safety of the general public is our top priority and we cannot risk continuing to hold events during this global pandemic. We urge people to remain calm, be in compliance with the recommendations from Alberta Health Services, and practice regular hygeine.
