From workers rights in San Francisco, Excelsior, and Daly City, to the rice farms of Luzon and Jollibees of Manila. Terry also enlightens us about the impact of APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) not only in the Asia-Pacific region, but in our hometown with money and resources being diverted towards this national, special security event, highlighting the wealth gap that many San Franciscans struggle with in their daily lives. According to Terry, APEC’s militarization, threat to food sovereignty and basic access to needs is a historic opportunity for international solidarity.
