Adil (Peace in Palawan language), Kathara Membership Kapwa,

Tail end of the year, the season when Bakunawa’s mouth points Sidlangan (East) and their tail points Katungan (West) in the Philippines. On Turtle Island the Winter Solstice approaches, the darkest time of the year.  Kathara Society calls upon our community stakeholders, those who support Indigenous Filipino Identities, who strive towards solidarity with IP (Indigenous Peoples) of the Philippines as well as our Coast Salish host nations as we reflect upon our continued commitment to Padayon, to keep moving forward. To navigate our diasporic existence as a collective, in our greater communities and within ourselves with more regard, intention and direction.

Why hold an AGM? That seem's a little colonial

Fulfilling the institutional components of an annual general meeting (AGM), we create this event with intention beyond colonial constructs to connect together as diasporic Filipino/a/x on personal and collective decolonizing journeys.
