Dipsita Dhar , Ashique Ali Thuppilikkat , and Soham Bhattacharya
1 Introduction
This city doesn’t treat us as their own, yet they also know they can’t survive without us. So we do what needs to be done, do your job with honesty and unite where you see you are being wronged. Both have to be done together, continuously.
Ali Jabbar, a migrant gig worker organizer, December 2023.
