Dear Friends,
Warm greetings form DAMAYAN Migrant Workers Association! We are contacting you in hopes that you will help in advancing our current and urgent campaign, Truth & Justice for Domestic Worker Fely Garcia!
Please take a moment of your time to sign a very important petition for support and action. The details of the case are below. We hope that you will sign the online petition and circulate it among your contacts and network.

Her children are in the Philippines and we were able to contact them last night, March 30. We will keep you informed about upcoming actions.
Yours truly,
Ana Liza Caballes
