Non-partisan community network working towards increasing Filipino/a/x civic engagement
For Filipino/a/x, by Filipino/a/x
Empowering Filipinos to use our voices for advocacy and civic engagement
Advocacy
We aim to advocate for key issues that matter to the Filipino/a/x-Canadian communities. Through active community engagement, we will identify priority issues and advocate for the needs of our communities.
Education
We aim to support Filipino/a/x-Canadians through community-oriented civic education, knowledge-sharing and action-based pathways such as capacity-building workshops and information-sharing.
Empowerment
We aim to uplift Filipino/a/x-Canadians’ voices individually and collectively to increase civic engagement participation by building grassroots-based initiatives to support our communities’ needs.
Advocacy
In creating evidence-based outreach and advocacy, we consult, research and publish reports focused on advocating for the community’s needs.
Education & Empowerment
It’s time for our community to be heard. We support the Filipino/a/x-Canadian community in ensuring we are equipped with the knowledge and skills for advocacy and meaningful civic engagement.
“As a young person, and as a child of two Filipino immigrants, being apart of FCCAN and witnessing the advocacy they perform has been a privilege. To this day, there are millions of Filipinos in Canada that continue to be unrepresented at a government level; FCCAN's work toward political education and civic engagement feels like the best means to ensuring a Canada that is much more resonant with the diaspora that make up this country.”
— Remiel Alicpala, Filipino youth
