While most of the U.S. stays home under quarantine, undocumented essential workers are risking their lives to sustain the country.
We are forced to choose between continuing to work under unsafe conditions with no protection or sick pay and losing our only source of income. At the same time, federal and state governments have excluded us from all emergency aid and unemployment benefits. Enough is enough.
Today, May 1, we join workers across the country in demanding the dignity and protection we deserve. Are you with us?

What are we fighting for?
1. Dignity for undocumented workers. We demand labor protections, access to unemployment, and fair wages.
2. The right to a just, dignified life. Our lives are worth more than profit. We demand free universal healthcare, the cancellation of rent, mortgages, debt, and utilities.
3. Relief for the undocumented community. All states and the federal government must extend emergency aid to the 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country.
4. Permanent protection for all undocumented immigrants. This includes access to driver’s licenses for all, the release of ICE detainees, and legalization of all 11 million undocumented immigrants.
