MIGRANT SPRING: a day of migrant writing and spoken word
Start: Sunday, March 17, 2024• 2:30 PM
Bills are skyrocketing, rent is beyond reach, forests are ablaze, and healthcare is being privatized. We are in the midst of an inequality crisis, with migrants who grow the food, care for the sick, and build and clean the homes bearing some of the heaviest burden. Lack of permanent resident status leaves them devoid of basic rights and protections, even as without them society would grind to a halt. To combat climate change and end the affordability crisis, migrant immigration status must be regularized. Achieving justice and equality for all requires permanent resident status for all. On September 17, 2023, the day before Parliament returns, let's unite in massive cross-country actions. Prime Minister Trudeau keeps stalling and we cannot keep waiting. The time for change is now. Let's get it done.
