Migrant Workers, Unite to Fight Fascism, Exploitation ​and War!  ¡Trabajadores migrantes, únanse para luchar contra el fascismo, la explotación y la guerra!

Throughout 2025 and into 2026, the attacks on our communities have escalated with military-style ​raids, forced disappearances, prolonged imprisonment, ​and extrajudicial murders of everyday working class people​ in our workplaces, homes, churches, schools, and neighborhoods. The United States has escalated its violent militarized detainment and deportation operations, resulting in further family separation and exploitation experienced by millions in the U.S.

​

This May Day, migrant workers here in the US are standing up and fighting back against state terror! ​

​

We, ​the grassroots migrants movement in the US, ​have been organizing powerfully across the country -- successfully ​campaigning to ​release ​our loved ones from detention​, demanding our workplaces provide protections against Trump's unconstitutional attacks, and holding our home governments accountable for their neglect and betrayal of our people. We reject the oppressive system that has always been stacked against migrants who have long been​ treated as cheap labor, only valuable for the remittances we send back home or for the super profits the billionaire corporations make from our labor.

​

​We unite as migrant workers from all sectors - service workers, day laborers, farm workers, gig workers, domestic workers, construction workers, fast food workers and more; to demand an end to the state terrorism waged ​against ​migrants! We unite to fight Trump's fascist policies, intensifying wars of aggression, and are resolved to organize in defense of our communities day in and day out until our demands are met.

​

This May Day, migrant workers demand:

Demand 1

For the Freedom to Reside with​ Status​

 

  • We demand the for the freedom to reside with status -- to stop the persecution of undocumented migrants. We demand protection of temporary statuses alongside a clear pathway that allows for migrants to be able to reside in the US without living under precarious circumstances. We reject the idea that we must give up our home nationalities in order to be able to reside in the US -- we demand that there are opportunities given for the freedom to reside in the country without having to live in fear and violence.

  • We demand that the United States resume processing visa applications from asylum-seekers and migrants who have been forced to leave their homelands due to the economic destabilization and insecurity caused by the intervention of countries like the US in our home economies.

Demand 2 

For the Freedom to Work​

 

  • We reject the United Nation's, International Migration Review Forums (IMRF) migration for development framework, that encourages our homelands to create policies and agreements globally that systematize the labor trafficking of our people or recruit them into low-paying, exploitative, and dangerous jobs -- only aimed at providing cheap labor to the richest corporations.

  • We demand increased protections for victims of trafficking and fraudulent, coercive employment contracts by expanding the availability of and eligibility for humanitarian visas. We demand governments to investigate and prosecute employers and recruitment agencies that traffic migrant workers, rather than treating migrant workers as expendable, disposable criminals.

  • We demand our home countries to focus on industrialization in our homelands, for the imperialist countries to end the intervention, war, and sanctions in our countries -- so that we can work and have a living wage in our homelands.

Demand 3 

For the Right to Access to Healthcare, Resources ​and ​​Livelihood​

​

  • Provide the necessary means for a dignified life for migrants living and residing in this country. Remove the barriers to and providing dignified housing, right to education, to health care, to the ability to work and the ability of movement to and from their homelands that continue to be ravaged by U.S. imperialism.

  • We demand an end of to the roll back of access to social services for migrants under the One Big Beautiful Act including the removal of healthcare for elderly and trans migrants.

Demand 4

For the Freedom to Fight​

​

  • We demand the freedom to fight against worker exploitation and greed collectively. We demand that migrant workers, particularly farm workers fighting for their right to unionized be recognized immediately. Like the fight in Sunnyside, WA against their exploitative employer, Winmill Farms, that has refused to recognize their right to unionize with UFW for over 4 years and has retaliated against the workers.

  • Stop the legal prosecution​ of ​migrant rights ​activists and organizations who are resisting and exposing human rights violations carried out by the US government on a daily basis. Drop the charges on the Prarieland 19, ​Baldwin Park 3 and other ​similar​ legal ​cases.

Demand 5

ICE Out of Our Communities and Free All Migrant ​Detainees and Political Prisoners​

​​

  • We demand that ICE stops terrorizing our communities and stops the psychological torture of surveillance and that federal and local governments put an immediate end to data sharing with ICE and CBP.

  • We demand a right to live our daily lives, to drop our kids off at school, to go to medical appointments and to live without the fear of ICE illegally and dangerously detaining us and violating our rights as human beings in the U.S.

  • We demand the immediate release of all those detained in detention centers! Free them all! Stop the attack on migrants!

  • We ​unite with the call to abolish ​Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is used as a paramilitary arm of state terror to racially profile, forcibly abduct ​and traffic human beings of all ages.

Demand 6

End to All US-Led Wars and Military Interventions​

​

  • We unequivocally demand the disbanding of all ​US ​military pacts (i.e. ​NATO) ​with repressive governments (i.e. Israel), including the withdrawal of US troops​ and the closure of foreign military bases ​everywhere, ​which are used as forward operating bases for direct or proxy conflicts​​. End the coups, ​wars of aggression on countries asserting their national sovereignty, including Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, and so on. Grant f​ull ​independence to​ sovereignty movements in Guahan (Guam), Boriken (Puerto Rico), Hawaii, and other island colonies still exploited to this day.

  • We firmly call on the US government to end all sanctions and blockades illegally and unilaterally imposed as a bullying and genocidal tactic to force sovereign countries into​ a ​destabilized and subservient state for Western ​colonial plundering​. In addition, ​remove Cuba from the State-Sponsor of Terrorism List, which has significantly excluded the people's ability to send remittances to loved ones or to simply transfer​ money through international financial institutions.

  • We demand a stop to the US' automatic enrollment to the military draft to be implemented this year, that would include migrants of vulnerable status, refugees, and green card holders to wage imperialist wars on behalf of the same government displacing migrants from their same home countries.
