| Summary: | The mobilization for disaster justice in the aftermath of Super Typhoon Yolanda provides an important case for analyzing the process of demanding disaster justice. In thisarticle I highlight how the framing of disaster justice by People Surge, a grassroots organization of Yolanda survivors based in Tacloban City, focuses on two demands in the aftermath of the disaster: a distributive demand for disaster aid and a critique against the social contract with the state by claiming that its actions in the aftermath of the disaster constituted “criminal negligence.” I also show that the framing of disaster justice was affected by shifts in the political opportunity available to People Surge.KEYWORDS: DISASTER JUSTICE • SOCIAL MOVEMENTS • DISASTER POLITICS • DISASTER RECONSTRUCTION • PEOPLE SURGE |
