Say No To Racism! Yes to Immigrant Justice!
September 15 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Right-wing politicians are scapegoating immigrants for the housing and affordability crisis, diverting attention from corporate greed and government policy failures. All workers, including migrants and immigrants, are suffering from decades of cuts to healthcare, housing, education, and social services. The elite want us divided—citizen against newcomer—so we don’t unite against billionaires, landlords, and climate criminals profiting from our crisis. The federal Liberals are mirroring Conservative tactics, shutting down immigration avenues. Regularization—permanent resident status for undocumented people—was promised in December 2021 but still has not been delivered, while migrants remain underpaid, exploited, and excluded.
Schedule:
– 2 pm: Start
– 2.15-2.30 pm: Speeches from migrant rights advocates and members of various unions and community organizations
– 2.30-3 pm: March to Parliament Hill
– 3.30 pm: Community Gathering at Major’s Hill Park
Ottawa shows up for migrants and says: No to racism! Yes to migrant justice!
