Throughout the years, Amirah “Mek” Ali Lidasan has been a steadfast ally of Katribu in our campaigns for self-determination for the Indigenous Peoples (IP). Ever present in our efforts, Mek staunchly stood against rights violations towards the IP and has shown utmost solidarity with the calls and struggles of our communities.
Mek Lidasan has long stood in solidarity with the Moro and Indigenous Peoples and other marginalized sectors in their struggles for economic upliftment, human rights, and social justice. Since 2022, she has been the co-chairperson of Sandugo—Movement of Moro and Indigenous Peoples for Self-Determination. Even before this, she was an integral part of the 2017 Lakbayan ng mga Pambansang Minorya, where Indigenous Peoples and Moro marched through the streets of Metro Manila to highlight their plight and demand justice.
No one is more qualified to represent and advocate for Moro and Indigenous Peoples in the Senate than Amirah “Mek” Ali Lidasan.
Katribu, the national alliance of Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines, proudly supports and actively campaigns for Amirah "Mek" Lidasan in her senatorial bid.
Alongside Mek, Katribu extends its full support to the entire Makabayan senatorial slate. The Makabayan Coalition, both in and out of Congress, has consistently provided genuine representation for the masses, standing with workers, farmers, Indigenous Peoples, and other marginalized communities in our fight for lower prices, fair wages, decent jobs, freedom, and social justice. We also strongly endorse Bayan Muna Partylist, which has remained a true voice of the people in Congress, advocating for pro-people legislation, combating corruption, and opposing anti-poor and anti-Indigenous policies.
We recognize and appreciate all individuals, organizations, and advocates who support our cause. Now more than ever, we need leaders who will stand firm against oppression, land-grabbing, and state violence. We call on Moro and Indigenous Peoples, along with their allies, to unite in supporting candidates with platforms upholding people's rights and a proven track record of genuine advocacy.
Let us rally behind Mek Lidasan, the Makabayan senatorial slate, and Bayan Muna Partylist to ensure that the voices of the Moro and Indigenous Peoples, along with the broader Filipino masses, are heard and defended in Congress.
Tuloy ang laban para sa karapatan, kapayapaan, at kultura! Moro at Katutubo sa Senado!
