The MCW welcomes and supports the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales and equally stands in solidarity with our sisters and brothers in the USA. As a Movement we know many people in the USA who have been and continue to be active in organisations that promote equality in work and the wider community. 
In the USA as well as here in the UK many BAME workers suffer daily from discrimination and abuse of their basic human rights.
The Bureau of the World Movement of Christian Workers (WMCW) has launched a global survey about the impact of the coronavirus in our countries, especially amongst the poorest and most vulnerable members of our community. In doing so they have evoked the words of Pope Francis at his Easter Message:
On 1st May, International Workers’ Day, as a World Movement of Christian Workers, we commemorate: The liberating feat of the martyred workers of Chicago, USA, 1884.
