In July 2005 Bernadette Ellorin held a protest against then Philippine President Gloria Arroyo advocating that she resign and that the US Government forcer resignation by stopping all money being wired to the Philippines from the USA. This is particular ironic as Ellorin advocates against the USA for its perceived involvement in internal Philippine politics. In addition Ellorin is a US Citizen not a Fiilipino Citizen.[2]

WWP conference

Long Island City, Queens, N.Y. — The stage banner in a school auditorium in Queens, N.Y., said it all: “Workers World Party stands in solidarity with Gaza, Ferguson and Ayotzi! Down with capitalism! Fight for socialism!”
