One Struggle, One Fight, All Workers Unite!
Everyone deserves respect and dignity, no matter who they are, where they were born, or what language they speak. Immigrants are workers, and workers are immigrants. Our fight for fair wages, safe workplaces, and dignity on the job is the same fight for immigrant justice. Billionaires sit back and watch us struggle, hoping that we turn against each other. We must expose their tactics because they divide us with fear while they hoard wealth and power. United, we can take it back.

Immigrants are neighbors, friends, coworkers, family members
While we work hard to take care of our families, billionaires profit from our struggles: paying meager wages, privatizing jails, funding mass deportations, and making fortunes off of human suffering. The same billionaires who don’t want to pay fair wages also back anti-immigrant policies, know that fear and division keep us from demanding what we deserve. The system isn’t broken: It was made this way, to benefit the wealthy at the expense of working people.
We contribute, build, and belong. We are here to stay.
Immigrants are integral to the fabric of this country. The narrative of criminalization is a political strategy to divide us. We must reaffirm the truth: immigrants are essential members of our communities and deserve protection.
Throughout history, the rich and powerful have used “Othering” to decide who does and doesn’t belong, creating conditions that uphold exclusion and violence. Criminalization is another way to enforce Othering: create fear around a group and then label them as criminals to justify human rights abuses. Criminalization has long been a tool of oppressions, first used against Black communities to justify slavery, Jim Crow, and mass incarceration.
Now it’s used against immigrants to justify detention and mass deportation. This is a deliberate tactic to maintain control, divide people, scapegoat communities of color, and keep the wealth with the ultra-wealthy.
The Numbers
Undocumented immigrants contribute significantly to the U.S. economy, yet they receive little in return.
Undocumented workers pay a higher tax rate than 55 mega corporations and several billionaires.
In 2022, undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in taxes.
Now, we ask for the dignity and respect we deserve.
