Kilusan sa Kapangyarihan at Karapatan ng Bayan, (lit.'Movement for People's Sovereignty and Democracy') better known as KAAKBAY (lit.'joining arms') was a Filipino umbrella group that was first created to introduce a novel political concept called the parliament-of-the-streets, which was a form of Filipino advocacy of pressure politics that peacefully pushed for the ouster of Ferdinand Marcos leading up to the EDSA Revolution. It was conceived by senator and lawyer José W. Diokno in 1983.
