Kilusang
Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) is a nationwide federation of Philippine
organizations of landless peasants, small farmers, farm workers, subsistence
fisherfolk, peasant women and rural youth. It has effective leadership
over a total of 800,000 rural people comprising roughly 9% of the Philippine
agricultural labor force. It has 55 provincial and 6 regional chapters
nationwide.
KMP carries out painstaking
organizing and education work among the peasantry as an important requisite
to building a strong and mass-based organization. It employs various forms
of struggle ranging from simple court actions and lobby work to mass mobilizations
such as nationwide strikes and protest actions.
