Rally: Refugees Welcome, Status For All!

Start: Sunday, March 19, 2023 2:00 PM

End: Sunday, March 19, 2023 3:00 PM

Join your neighbours on March 19 to mark the International Day for Elimination of Racism and the return of spring! We are calling for equal rights and permanent resident status for all undocumented people, migrant workers, students, families and refugees.

A regularization program to give permanent status to undocumented people was promised in December 2021, but Prime Minister Trudeau is stalling. Meanwhile migrant families are being deported and exploited every day, and anti-immigrant forces are trying to divide us. They are blaming migrants for low wages and stretched social services, and creating hysteria about refugee claimants escaping the United States via Roxham Road to distract from corporate greed. We must show the federal government that there are more of us, that we refuse to be divided, and we want Status For All!

We are mobilizing in the thousands with hope to #UniteAgainstRacism, insist #RefugeesWelcome and demand #StatusForAll. We have won many victories, from access to vaccines, to stopping deportations, to winning improvements to laws. We must make sure there are no delays, join us!
