[Keynote Speech] STAND-UP, UNITE AND FIGHT BACK!
Warmest militant greeting from the International Migrants Alliance to each one of you who are here in this political conference. On behalf of the alliance, I convey my deepest appreciation to the organizers of this event - International Migrants Alliance - USA Chapter, Tanggol Migrante Movement and Bayan USA - for initiating this historical gathering in the midst of relentless fascist attacks of the Trump’s administration against migrants, refugees and other working peoples in the United States of America.
WHY HOST AND MIGRANT WORKERS OPPOSE NEOLIBERAL GLOBALIZATION?
From the G20 meeting in Bali to the G7 meeting in Japan to the upcoming APEC meeting in San Francisco, we witness monopolists’ attempts to save - even multiply - their profits, while our governments choose to safeguard business’s interests over the livelihood and well being of their peoples.
