Dearest comrades,
The UP CIDS Program on Alternative Development is happy to announce that Solidarity through Cross-Border Regionalism, a monograph on grassroots communities, local movements, and peoples' organizations across Southeast Asia, is available for download. In it are narratives that detail and champion resistance against hegemonic visions of development. These stories are forged through participatory-action research and solidarity in the movements of the sectors involved in the book.

We hope that this becomes an invitation to continue our engagements with ongoing alternatives and movements in our respective communities and home countries. In the face of the coronavirus pandemic and the rise of strongman governments, we march on!
