Dear Toronto Friends and Allies --
This coming SATURDAY, January 21, at 2pm, about 50 members of
Solidarity Across
Borders, based in Montreal, will be in Toronto. Many of us who are
making the
trip are directly-affected migrants, who have actively fought
deportations and
detentions, who have gone through Canada's immigration and refugee
system, and
who are also threatened with removal from Canada. We are part of a
struggle for
self-determination as migrants, immigrants and refugees, supported by
our
allies.
Over the past several years, like those of you tirelessly working on
these
issues in Toronto, we have seen our friends, colleagues and family
members
deported, or forced into lives of anxiety and exploitation, because of
Canada's
fundamentally unjust and racist immigration and refugee system.
We are coming to Toronto to contribute tangibly to the weekly pickets
against
Immigration Minister Joe Volpe that have been taking place throughout
January.
But, we are also coming to Toronto to continue an effort we began last
summer.
Between June 18-25, 2005, Solidarity Across Borders organized the No
One Is
Illegal March On Ottawa. Our march was the idea of Shamim Akhtar and
her
family, refugees from Pakistan. Shamim was deported in 2004, but her
idea lived
on.
For an entire week, we marched, step-by-step, from the immigrant
neighborhoods
of Montreal to Parliament Hill in Ottawa, via the highways, ferries and
streets
of Quebec and Ontario. Despite our efforts, our demands were ignored by
the
government, most particularly by Citizenship and Immigration Minister
Joe
Volpe.
But, this coming Saturday, January 21, 2006, in Toronto -- more than
six months
after we left downtown Montreal on a collective journey to the
decision-makers
in Ottawa -- our march continues.
We ask you to join us in large numbers this Saturday, as we continue to
struggle collectively for STATUS FOR ALL! There will undoubtedly be
many more
challenges after the election, no matter who claims to hold power over
our
lives; but this Saturday, two days before the elections, we will hold
Joe Volpe
accountable for his ignorance of the reality of non-status persons in
Canada.
Our actions are never taken in vain, but they are the result of our
lived
reality as immigrants and refugees; Joe Volpe must be made to
understand that.
We look forward to seeing you outside Joe Volpe's election offices this
Saturday, as we continue to build links for the struggle ahead.
Solidairement,
Solidarity Across Borders
