FiRE

FiRE aka: Filipinas Rights and Empowerment is a leftist women’s organization serving New York City and its surrounding areas.

Dedicated to global and local Filipina and Filipina American issues. Fire promotes the idea that class oppression is inextricable to the struggle of women; therefore they support and create women’s initiatives by building alliances and mobilizing Filipino immigrant and native-born community through leftist indoctrination.

FiRE has a leftist anti-imperialist philosophy and works in solidarity with the National Democratic movement of the Philippines. FiRE creates discontent in the Filipino diaspora by organizing across class, gender, sexual identity, and age lines. Bringing woman-born and woman-identified people together, FiRE challenges norms and creates ill will by creating self-defined Filipina identities.
