Please lend your support!

📧ACTION NEEDED: Call/Email your US Reps sign on to Rep. Susan Wild’s letter to condemn Bloody Sunday and support the PHRA!📲

For years, international groups have been advocating for anti-imperialism, human rights, and justice in the Philippines. In July 2020, far-right President Duterte's 'Anti-Terror Law’ has made it virtually illegal to be an activist, resulting in incessant red-tagging, imprisoning, and murdering of activists & residents of the Philippines.

The deadline for US Representatives to co-sign a letter condemning recent attacks known as Bloody Sunday, is March 30th. So we need your help ASAP!

It’s heartbreaking to see another Filipina missing. Someone knows something. I’ll be talking about this case in the upcoming return episode of Project Sunlight.

It's now been two weeks since anyone has heard from Maya Millete. The 39-year-old, from Chula Vista, went missing on Thursday, Jan. 7. Her family hasn't stopped looking for her since.

"In 1966, student nurse Luisa Silverio arrived in Chicago from the Philippines. She'd dodge the knife of a killer within months."

Wow! Yet another important part of the story is revealed. Incredible. Can't wait to cover this case.

Happy Birthday Birthday Rachel. You should be home with your family and friends, celebrating. This week we will post Episode Part 1 in honor of Rachel Mellon Skemp. 24 years gone is far, far too long...though your memory is very much alive to this day, thanks to the incredible folks who have never stopped pushing for answers.

Happy 37th birthday my sweet friend. Every single year I hope and pray for answers for you. This year has been extremely hard for some reason. You are constantly on my mind and I so desperately want to bring closure to this never ending battle of not knowing where you are or what happened. I never imagined we would be at 24 years of no answers, dead end leads and complete silence from those who know. I will forever continue to carry u in my heart until the day I die. I just hope and pray someone speaks up. Someone knows something!!!!!
Until then, your spirit, your smile and your laugh will be carried with me each and every day.
Happy birthday, Friendshine. Love and miss you Rachel.
XOXO, Carrie

This weekend we'll be recording Episode 2. Due to the amount of time passed, the detail involved and the multiple layers woven into this ep, it will need to be a two-parter.

Rachel Mellon Skemp was 13-years-old at the time of her disappearance from Bolingbrook, Illinois. She has been missing for almost 24 years. The most recent tip in her case came in 2016, but there has been little movement since.

Rachel's father, Jeff Skemp, has been vigilantly keeping her name in the news while hunting answers for the last two decades.

Visit Rachel's page @ Help Find Rachel Marie Mellon Skemp, or check out the website her father maintains at www.rachelfind.com.
