On International Workers Day, NYC streets buzzed with energy as dozens of unions, community groups, and activists demanded stronger protections for workers—especially immigrants facing exploitation. 💪 \"No worker deserves to be exploited,\" chanted protesters, highlighting stories of frontline essential workers from Black and brown communities who bore the brunt of the pandemic.
\"Many immigrants work grueling jobs but are silenced by language barriers or fear of deportation,\" one protester told CGTN. Advocates emphasized the need for unified unions to fight for fair wages, safer conditions, and a clear pathway to citizenship. 📢
The rally echoed a global message: equity can\'t wait. As one organizer put it, \"When our most vulnerable are protected, everyone rises.\" 🌍✨
