MIGRANTE International
Migrante International and its member overseas Filipino organizations are proud to support trade union leader Jerome Adonis in his upcoming Senate bid. As the Secretary General of Kilusang Mayo Uno and a veteran labor rights advocate, Adonis is tireless in fighting for the rights of workers and the common people.
Jerome Adonis has a strong record of supporting OFWs and everyday Filipinos. On the streets and in factories, he serves as an advocate for the millions of workers who are forced to work dirty, dangerous, and demeaning jobs both at home and abroad. Migrant workers have for years worked with Adonis to campaign for living wages, job security, and dignified work. His leadership in working class struggles resonate with many OFWs who are forced abroad by poor economic conditions only to find exploitative and contractual work in other countries. We are confident that Jerome will bring the cause of OFWs into the Senate as a true representative of Filipino workers everywhere.
As a leader for genuine and anti-imperialist trade unionism, Adonis is part of the cause of international working class solidarity. He serves as a Philippine representative to the International Trade Union Confederation. Jerome is also the Second Deputy Secretary to the International League of Peoples’ Struggle. In global conferences, Adonis advocates for collective workers’ struggles against foreign monopoly capital. He bridges the struggle of refugees of countries like Palestine to the Filipino working class. He fights not only for the rights of Filipino workers and migrants, but all migrants and workers of the world.
Today, Jerome Adonis and the Makabayan Coalition represent a genuine opposition to the country’s broken political and economic order. Committed leaders like France Castro, Arlene Brosas, and Jerome Adonis represent our people’s aspirations to break free from poverty and hunger. Our movement of overseas Filipinos overseas is determined to bring this truly people’s alternative into the Senate and beyond.
Manggagawa, progresibo, para sa migranteng Pilipino. Dalhin si Jerome Adonis sa Senado! #AdonisSaSenado
