Filipinas for Rights and Empowerment

Filipinas for Rights and Empowerment (FiRE) is a mass-based women's organization serving New York City and its surrounding areas. We connect the Filipino diaspora to the women's struggle in the Philippines. By bringing woman-born and woman-identified people together, we challenge pervading stereotypes and create self-defined Filipina identities.   For more information, please visit http://www.firenyc.org .  

FiRE is a proud member of BAYAN-USA, an alliance of progressive Filipino groups in the U.S. representing organizations of students, scholars, women, workers, and youth.  To learn more about the only overseas chapter of BAYAN, and the other organizations in our alliance, please visit http://bayanusa.org/
