>> OF COURSE, WE CELEBRATE
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
TODAY.
TODAY.
TODAY. THERE ARE A LOT OF GROUPS
COMING TOGETHER TO HELP
CELEBRATE SO, WE HAVE A SPECIAL
GUEST TO.
GUEST TO.
GUEST TO. DID YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE HER?
>> THIS IS EJ FROM GABRIELLA.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
YOU HAVE A BIG EVENT TONIGHT.
>> TELL US WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO
CELEBRATE.
CELEBRATE. >> FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S
DAY, OR SO BURNING WITH AN
EVENT TO BRING WOMEN TOGETHER
TO CELEBRATE THE STRUGGLES AS
WELL AS TO BUILD UPON THEM,
BUILD COMMUNITY AS WELL AS
WELDING MEMORIES TOGETHER OF
WORKING TOGETHER.
WORKING TOGETHER. >> LOVE IT.
I LOVE YOUR SHIRT, CAN YOU
EXPLAIN THAT?
EXPLAIN THAT? >> THESE ARE FILIPINA HEROES.
I'M LEARNING ABOUT THEM, IT IS
PART OF THE WOMEN'S DAY, LEARN
MORE ABOUT SHE-ROES.
AND YOU ARE PART OF THE GROUP
GABRIELLA.
GABRIELLA. GABRIELLE IN SEATTLE IS A
FILIPINO WOMEN'S ORGANIZATION,
ACTUALLY TIED TO GABRIELLA
PHILIPPINES, WE ARE AN OVERSEAS
CHAPTER IN ADVOCATING FOR THE
RIGHTS OF FILIPINO WOMEN AND
CHILDREN.
CHILDREN.
CHILDREN. >> ARE THEIR UNIQUE CHALLENGES
YOUR ORGANIZATION IS TRYING TO
ADDRESS?
ADDRESS?
ADDRESS? >> YEAH, WE SEE OURSELVES AS A
BIGGER MOVEMENT FOR THE RIGHTS
AND WELFARE OF FILIPINOS, WHO
ARE REALLY FIGHTING FOR, YOU
KNOW, WORKERS RIGHTS AS WELL AS
THE RIGHTS OF IMMIGRANTS, AS
YOU MAY KNOW, THERE'S SO MUCH
GOING ON WITH THE IMMIGRATION
SYSTEM.
SYSTEM.
SYSTEM. IT IS COMPLETELY BROKEN.
WE HAVE FOLKS THAT ARE GOING
INTO DETENTION CENTERS, AND WE
HAVE FAMILIES BEING RIPPED
APART FROM EACH OTHER.
AND SO, WE ARE REALLY KEEPING
AN EYE ON THOSE TYPES OF
SITUATIONS.
SITUATIONS. >> SOMETHING I THOUGHT WAS
INTERESTING, WHEN WERE TALKING
BEFORE THE SHOW STARTED, JUST
THAT WOMEN TEND TO DO JOBS THAT
ARE THE 3D'S.
>> DIRTY, DEMEANING, AND
DANGEROUS.
DANGEROUS. THESE ARE JOBS WHERE WOMEN FEEL
LIKE THEY HAVE TO TAKE UP IN
ORDER TO EARN A WAGE, IT MIGHT
NOT EVEN BE A WAGE THAT IS A
LIVING WAGE.
LIVING WAGE. WHAT WE SEE IS A LOT OF FORCED
MIGRATION WITH WOMEN FROM THE
PHILIPPINES, WHO COME HERE FOR
THE 3-D KIND OF JOBS, DOMESTIC,
I MEAN, DIRTY, DANGEROUS, AND
DEMEANING.
DEMEANING. AND THEY ARE PUT INTO
SITUATIONS WHERE MAYBE THEIR
EMPLOYER KEEPS THEIR DOCUMENTS
OR THEY LOSE THEIR LEGALITY.
AND SO, A LOT OF THEM ARE
FORCED TO, KIND OF LIKE HIDE,
GO INTO SITUATIONS WHERE THEY
MIGHT NOT KNOW THEIR RIGHTS OR
BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW --
>> AND THEY ARE EXPLOITED, WE
HAVE SEEN WOMEN EXPLOITED JUST
THIS WEEK INTERNATIONALLY.
>> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. HOW DO WE SUPPORT YOU? WHAT
WOULD YOU LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW
HOW TO SUPPORT GABRIELLA?
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW, I THINK A
LOT OF TIMES, WE THINK, I HAVE
TO FUND THIS CAUSE.
YOU'RE CERTAINLY MORE THAN
WELCOME TO, WE HAVE A VIN MAIL
ACCOUNT.
ACCOUNT.
ACCOUNT. I ALSO THINK IT IS ABOUT
LINKING ARMS WITH EACH OTHER,
AND SEEING EACH OTHER WORK
TOGETHER BECAUSE IT IS REALLY
HARD, WE HAVE LIVES THAT TAKE
US AWAY FROM THIS KIND OF WORK,
WE REALLY HAVE TO BE INTENTIONAL
ABOUT LINKING ARMS WITH ONE
ANOTHER, THAT IS PART OF WHY WE
HAVE THIS EVENT, WE ARE IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS LIKE
LOC COLLECT EVENT, THE NORTHWEST
DETENTION CENTER RESISTANCE.
ALSO, FIGHT FORMALLY
INCARCERATED GROUP FOR HEALING.
AND WE ARE LINKING ARMS
TOGETHER AND TYING OUR ISSUES
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. >> AWESOME.
>> AWESOME. A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL COME
TOGETHER TO SUPPORT TONIGHT AND
THAT IS IN KENT.
>> YES, OFF OF CENTRAL AVENUE.
>> WE POSTED A KEYWORD, IF YOU
TYPE IN THE WORD, WOMEN, WE
WILL SEND YOU A LINK TO THE
FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE, YOU CAN
GET ALL THE DETAILS AND IT WILL
BE A GOOD POTLUCK.
>> YES, OF COURSE.

JOBS, WE HAVE TO EAT.
SO, WE CAN BE PRESENT.
