With historic marches with hundreds of thousands of immigrants taking to the streets in the US, grassroots immigrant groups are mobilizing for a National Day of Action this coming May 27, 2006, with demonstrations planned in several cities.
Across Canada, migrants, refugees and their allies will demonstrate against the deportation and detention of migrants and refugees, for a full, inclusive, unconditional and ongoing regularization program, and for full rights and dignity for immigrant communities against racism, poverty, and criminalization.
We are demonstrating because hundreds of thousands of people live without status, without sufficient access to health care or education, and in great fear of being detained or deported, all the while being the most exploited in the workplace. For decades immigrants have been scapegoated, and now since 9/11, the false link between immigrants and terrorism has developed with the racist use of Anti-Terrorism legislation and Security Certificates. Thousands of migrants, especially immigrant women, are forced to live in poverty; while thousands of temporary workers perform hard and dangerous labour, yet are denied their basic rights.
Join us on May 27 as we refuse to be silenced and as we refuse to live in fear. Celebrate our communities courage as we stand together to demand status for all and dignity for our friends, families, and communities!
