Immigrant workers in Arkansas are demanding respect, recognition, and fair treatment, and they plan to rally and march on Monday to make their voices heard. The event is being organized by Venceremos, a worker-led organization advocating for the rights of meatpacking employees in the state. The organizers believe that companies like Tyson Foods can exploit the current political climate to mistreat workers who are too afraid to speak up for fear of deportation.
The rally and march are an opportunity for immigrants to showcase their crucial contributions to Arkansas’s economy and culture, as well as to push back against negative stereotypes and unfair treatment. Immigrants play a vital role in keeping the economy running, putting food on tables, and enriching American culture. The event aims to show solidarity against attacks by the state Legislature and to stand up for the rights of all workers.
The rally will take place at Murphy Park in Springdale at 1:30 p.m., followed by a 1.7-mile march to Luther George Park. Hundreds of immigrant workers, labor advocates, and community members are expected to participate in the event. The organizers hope to raise awareness about the challenges faced by immigrant workers and to call for a more just and inclusive society.
