MIGRANTS RISE UP, FIGHT BACK! Read full statement in the slides. @uniondelbarrio @centrocso @chirla_org

As the election season heightens and both parties continue their fascist attacks and rhetoric towards migrants, it is clear the need for a migrants perspective and continued grassroots migrant organizing. With this IMA-USA has synthesized the demands of many grassroots migrants campaigns on the ground across the U.S. to develop the updated Grassroots Migrants Agenda. The voices of migrants need to be amplified as we approach the 2024 U.S. elections and organize into 2025. By strengthening our demands and organizing, particularly with an international and anti-imperialist perspective, we will advance the struggles of migrants, refugees, and displaced people. Campaign with us, and join IMA-USA as we build the grassroots migrants movement against imperialism, fascism, and forced migration. 1. End Forced Migration & Imperialist War 2. End the Repression of Migrants 3. Rights to Livelihood, Health, Housing 4. Legalization for All Join us in the fight to advance the Grassroots Migrants Agenda by sharing with us your local campaigns and fights for us to amplify the work on the ground of migrant organizers nationally and advance the true voices of the people who are fighting to end the root causes of forced migration and fight for livelihood and dignity for all migrants!

Held right before the United Nations’ International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) in New York on May 5-8, the GMRF in New York stands as proof that migrants are not merely objects of global policy, but subjects of struggle capable of uniting, resisting, and advancing their own demands. The forum was filled with powerful testimonies from migrant leaders on the frontlines of the fight against labor exploitation, criminalization, racism, xenophobia, and the many forms of oppression perpetuated by the global imperialist system. May the international solidarity that has been built continue to strengthen the unity and struggle of migrants in fighting for their rights, welfare, and human dignity. From the grassroots, we fight exploitation and oppression in all its forms. No borders in solidarity! Long live the struggle of migrants! Long live the unity of the oppressed peoples!

Hear from Pervez Siddiqqui, a Bangladeshi migrant advocate with Film4Peace, a foundation committed to ending human trafficking and modern slavery! He attended the May 3rd Migrant Workers Summit, held in Queens NY as part of a national week of action for migrants to make their voices heard as the UN holds its International Migration Review Forum (IMRF). Under the disguise of “safe, orderly, and regular migration,” this forum promotes policies that expand labor trafficking and the global recruitment of migrants into the lowest paying and most dangerous jobs, making huge profits for rich corporations. We demand governments turn their focus to prosecuting the employers and recruitment agencies that steal workers wages and traffick migrants! Pervez asserts “we have a family, we are human beings, we are not a commodity.” He is fighting for the rights of Bangladeshi and all migrants to work anywhere in the world with dignity, respect, and safety.
