Who is Rep. Darrell Issa and what does he have to do with war crimes in the Philippines?
Rep. Issa (CA-48) is one of the richest people in congress and some of his investments are in Black Rock and other war profiteers. He also pushed to send $500 million of our tax dollars to fund war crimes and human rights violations in the Philippines. He stands to benefit personally in the US’ war against China.
At the CancelRIMPACCampaign summit and mobilization, we asked attendees to mobilize with us in front of Rep. Issa’s Escondido office to denounce his support for more military funding to the Philippines. Over a hundred people came out to expose the real conditions of human rights in the Philippines and called for the passing of the Philippine Human Rights Act!
