This International Migrants Day, we’re proud to share a one-page roundup of the most impactful news stories from the past year that highlighted CDM’s work and amplified the voices of migrant workers.
In this critical moment, as the administration targets migrant workers and lawmakers push to expand guestworker programs—often while weakening key worker protections—ensuring that migrant workers’ perspectives are heard is more important now than ever.
As we move into 2026, we’ll continue to center migrant worker voices to ensure that their priorities and experiences shape the laws and policies that affect them. We will advocate for a value-based labor migration system that prioritizes the human rights of workers and their families and elevates labor standards for all workers.
