On 31 October from 5.30–7.00 pm at SEA Junction Venue (4th Flr., BACC), the second event in a two-part series organized by SEA Junction and Humanis brought together participants to reflect on regional solidarity and collective care in Southeast Asia’s democracy movements. The workshop responded to recent protests across Indonesia, Timor-Leste, the Philippines, and Myanmar, where activists continue to face repression, criminalization, and violence. It highlighted emerging cross-border solidarity initiatives such as #SEAblings, people-to-people support campaigns, and shared protest symbols across the region. Focusing on sustainable movement-building, the event explored how collective care, mutual support, and anti-patriarchal organizing practices can strengthen grassroots activism and foster long-term regional solidarity amid growing political pressure and resource scarcity.
