Standing against war, demanding an end to ICE enforcement that tears families apart, rejecting exploitation from billionaires, and pushing back against ongoing attacks from the Trump administration. The message echoes far beyond one city or one country, this is about international solidarity, about workers everywhere standing together across borders to demand fair treatment, human rights, and a future rooted in people-first programs rather than oppression & exploitation,” said The People’s Forum on Instagram on May 1, 2026.
