Join us at 10am tmrw, on #InternationalMigrantsDay, as we launch our campaign, “Badalta kaam, Badalta daam.” Migrant workers' firsthand narratives capture the changing (badalta) meanings of work (kaam) & wage/value (daam) as they navigate a precarious post-lockdown economy. (1/6) 
The burdens of economic 'recovery' have fallen heavily on the shoulders of India’s informal migrant workers. Working at the lowest ends of manufacturing & construction value chains, they have been compelled to confront depressed wages, body burdens & wage theft. (2/6)
Through narratives collected from Mumbai's informal economy, we ask: How are migrant workers confronting depressed wage structures, body burdens and tenuous work? How has industry further devalued their labour post-lockdown? What does 'recovery' actually mean for them? (3/6)

I have worked with various marginalized communities in Toronto for over 10 years. During that time, I have hesitated to call police on many occasions knowing that my patients could be further traumatized, criminalized, hurt or even killed. This is not OK. #DefundthePolice #topoli

India should be held accountable for its grave breaches of intl humanitarian law and warcrimes in Kashmir & to take steps to settle the decades old dispute. Keep tweeting abt Indian atrocities & tag international media outlets & activists. Raise your voices at international level
We won't do anything, but why is Sonu Sood successful in helping migrants leave Mumbai? Failed shayar and equally pathetic editor Sanjay Raut hints at investigation! Sainiks use to do the same, you moron #MigrantLivesMatter

Sainiks in shakhas were lifeline of Mumbai, till power hungry politicians like Raut took over. Shameful
Yeah, Raut is in politics for social work. Got it.
Just before I took my phone out, she said, "Agar aisa hi chalta raha toh yaha se Modi bhi jayenge, aur waha se Yogi bhi."
Met her at Vasai the other day. She was furious, and rightly so.

.@ThamizhachiTh When you advocate for the safe return of Indians who work in other states to their homes, when you demand more buses and trains and free passage on their behalf, you represent my interests. And my India. Thank you. 🙏 #MigrantLivesMatter

I have never felt so emotionally moved while writing a piece. There was a lot of anguish and despair which powered this article. Therefore, I took a special care to ensure that the opinions are well grounded on facts.
