The following error occurred: The author wrote: “Even though there was a plethora of women leaders in KDP in the 1970s, sexism existed within it and in the ND groupings like APC that followed, according to some members (Habal 2007, 109; Rosca 2000, 85). For example, even though sixty to seventy percent of the Filipino American population in the late 1980s were women and seventy percent of Fil‐Am Left organizations were comprised of female members, the leadership was still ninety‐nine percent male and the organizations conducted little work on women's issues (Rosca 2000, 84–85).” It should read “According to Estella Habal, there was a plethora of women leaders in KDP in the 1970s and an organizational childcare policy that was unique at the time (Habal 2007, 61, 120). Yet some members I interviewed recounted experiences of internalized sexism, such as pressures for women not to have children, which was common in the Left. More traditional types of sexism existed in ND groupings like APC that followed. For example, even though sixty to seventy percent of the Filipino American population in the late 1980s were women and seventy percent of Fil‐Am Left ND organizations were comprised of female members, the leadership was still ninety‐nine percent male and the organizations conducted little work on women's issues (Rosca 2000, 85‐86). According to people I interviewed, women in APC too successfully demanded that their male comrades share childcare and household duties” (p. 703).
Also in error, the author wrote: “Although KDP disbanded in the late 1980s, some of its former members had already united with other US‐based Filipina/os to continue supporting the ND Movement (NDM) in the Philippines in groups, such as Alliance for Philippine Concerns (APC) in the early 1980s, over the past four decades.” It should read: “KDP split from the ND movement and later disbanded in the late 1980s. In the early 1980s, some ex‐KDP members united with other US‐based Filipina/os to continue supporting the ND Movement (NDM) in the Philippines in groups, such as Alliance for Philippine Concerns (APC). Some of these ND supporters were sent from the Philippines to help build the movement” (p. 699).
The author apologizes for these errors.
