This article analyzes the formation of radical transnational politics among Filipino/American youth activists in the era of Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte. Specifically, this paper gives special attention to the fraught legacies of the U.S.-Marcos dictatorship in the context of the Duterte administration’s war on drugs and the declaration of martial law in Mindanao in May 2017. Millennial and Generation Z activists have used social media and on-the-ground mass movement building to situate themselves in a protracted struggle against fascism and U.S. imperialism, thereby drawing critical links between the past and present. Drawing from archival and oral history research in Metro Manila, Philippines and Chicago, I argue that Filipino/American youth activists transform history into a site of transnational mobilization to counter legacies and contemporary manifestations of authoritarianism in the Philippines. The work of these youth activists, particularly in Anakbayan, reveals how transnationalism has been central to Filipino American radicalism, and how solidarity across race, ethnicity, and national borders strengthens anti-authoritarian and anti-imperialist politics
