Based in Glenview, IL, GABRIELA USA represents a vital connection between Filipino women's liberation movements in the Philippines and progressive communities across the United States. As an overseas chapter of GABRIELA Philippines—a coalition that has grown from 42 founding organizations in 1984 to over 250 member organizations today—GABRIELA USA carries forward a legacy of resistance, courage, and collective action. The organization was established during the transformative anti-dictatorship struggles of the Marcos era, when Filipino women from all walks of life came together to fight for fundamental freedoms and systemic change. Named in honor of Gabriela Silang, a historical figure who challenged colonial oppression centuries ago, the organization embodies the principle that women's liberation is inseparable from the liberation of all oppressed peoples. GABRIELA USA operates from a conviction that freedom for women requires addressing foreign domination, landlessness, political repression, and patriarchal structures that pervade society. The organization believes in the power of grassroots mobilization, cultural expression, and consciousness-raising to transform communities. By maintaining deep connections with Filipino diaspora communities while engaging in broader American social movements, GABRIELA USA bridges international struggles and local activism. Members participate in cultural events, educational forums, and coordinated campaigns that uplift Filipino women's voices and experiences. The organization's commitment to intersectional justice—recognizing how women's oppression connects to economic exploitation, imperialism, and systemic inequality—guides all its work in serving the Glenview, IL area and beyond.
