"We stand on a mountain in Mindanao. We live closest to the stars we ever have. At night, we bike to the moon, its cratered land." Read "Our Archipelago" After Jan-Henry Gray by Troy Osaki theoffingmag.com/poetry/our-arc…

"Before nightfall, a typhoon warning appears. I find a smooth rock, sit, then watch an American base drown in rain on our islands." Read "Our Archipelago" After Jan-Henry Gray by Troy Osaki theoffingmag.com/poetry/our-arc…

"We stand on a mountain in Mindanao. We live closest to the stars we ever have. At night, we bike to the moon, its cratered land." —Troy Osaki, 'Our Archipelago,' in The Offing x Kundiman 20th Anniversary Poetry Portfolio theoffingmag.com/poetry/our-arc…

There’s no peace without justice, and the U.S-Duterte and U.S.-Marcos regimes have been found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity by the Filipino people. We’ll hold them accountable by continuing to organize. Makibaka! Huwag Matakot! #katarunganIPT2024

I’m heartbroken that Kundiman, an organization named after Filipino resistance, would silence and repress its staff for voicing their support for the courageous people of Palestine. Thank you, Cathy, dearly, for all you've done. We won’t allow this to go unnoticed.

It’s PH Independence Day but the PH isn’t independent. The US plunders our resources, exploits our people, and uses our islands as a launching pad against rivals. The only thing to celebrate is our fight against imperialism. The only thing to celebrate is our people's movement.

My poem, “Here, My Beloved,” is featured as The Missouri Review’s Poem of the Week. In the fewest words possible, Jordan is my beloved the way the PH is my home country. Thank you to the editors for uplifting the names of our martyrs. Thank you to anyone who reads them out loud.

✨ WE THE GATHERED HEAT: Asian American and Pacific Islander Poetry, Performance, and Spoken Word (Haymarket Books) is out in the world ✨ Grateful to be alongside poets who are full of endless light. Thank you to the editors for bringing us together.

This poem like many of Nâzim Hikmet’s poems is the kind I sing in the dark.

New poem in The Adroit Journal. Writing deeper into my grandma’s incarceration during WWII––her family's forced separation. Today, the administration is ordering mass arrests, mass deportation, and, once again, separating families. These anti-migrant and inhumane policies must end!

“You have more rights than the undocumented: I need a permit to uproot you. Ofelia believes only rain can touch all of you.” —Eduardo C. Corral (he/him/his)

Movement lawyering goes beyond individual cases. It explains the social context and how the state uses the law as a weapon. Being a lawyer in the movement means going outside the courtroom. It means connecting, deeply, with social movements.

We’re mobilizing for Lewelyn Dixon and all migrants in detention. Aunty Lynn is a green card holder and has lived here for over 50 years. Like countless migrants, she’s part of our community, and we won’t let her fight alone. Join us at the Northwest Detention Center from 1-3p!

“If you are really good at hurting black people, you will indeed hurt the environment, I promise you. If you are really good at hurting women, you’re probably also interested in war—I promise you.” —Jericho Brown
