It\u2019s been a whirlwind of a week \u2014I have so much to share with you! Here are three exciting updates: Update # 1 \u2013 Immigration protections for workers involved in labor disputes can now be granted for up to 4 years! After months of advocating alongside allied organizations, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agreed to extend immigration protections for workers involved in labor disputes to up to four years. This protection helps immigrant and migrant workers speak up against labor abuse by lessening the risk of immigration-based retaliation by allowing them to stay and work in the United States while helping\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She shared digital ads that we encounter every day in social media offering job opportunities for male workers only, in blatant disregard for the US\u2019s anti-discrimination laws.<\/strong> She also shared a few key recommendations to reduce gender inequality in guestworker programs such as increasing data transparency \u2014gender data in particular\u2014 facilitating access from abroad to EEOC complaint processes<\/strong> and ensuring the US lives up to its obligations under the USCMA by removing barriers to migrant worker access to legal services funded by the Legal Services Corporation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside other Migration that Works member organizations we also took this invaluable opportunity to advance some of our advocacy priorities. Among other things, we continued sounding the alarm on legislative attacks on carnival workers\u2019 rights<\/strong>, and the need for the government to play a more active role in addressing the heightened challenges faced by H-2 workers recruited from Central America<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update # 3 \u2013 Amicus Brief filed!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a previous newsletter I shared with you that we were filing a motion to intervene in defense of the DOL\u2019s farmworker protection rule currently under legal attack by State Attorneys General, growers and big-time farmers. Sadly, our motion to intervene was denied<\/strong> this week since the judge deemed that the DOL would represent our interests fairly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the good news is the judge allowed us to file our intervention brief as an extensive Amicus Brief<\/strong> \u2014which our attorneys filed on Monday\u2014 to be considered in the case alongside DOL\u2019s arguments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all it\u2019s been an exciting week. Advocacy is such an important part of CDM\u2019s work building a world where migrant rights are respected and laws and policies reflect migrant worker voices. AND SO ARE YOU!<\/strong> Your support is the reason all of this is possible. So, thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope we can continue to count on your support and your fierce determination to create a fair and just world for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
