To All News Editors
For Immediate Release

-- Canada-wide immigrant groups are organizing a National Day for Immigrant Rights and Status for All on Saturday May 27, 2006

PRESS SCRUM: SATURDAY MAY 27 1:30 PM AT VANCOUVER ART GALLERY

May 25, 2006- Vancouver, Immigrant rights organizations across Canada will be demonstrating on May 27, as part of a national day of action for immigrant rights to protest against the deportation and detention of migrants and refugees and for a full and inclusive, regularization program. Protests will take place in over six cities in Canada.

Building on ongoing organizing efforts led by migrant communities across Canada, we are demonstrating because thousands are exploited under guest-worker programs, while hundreds of thousands of people live without status. Claudio Ekdahl, an organizer of the rally in Vancouver, states: "The immigration debate in Canada faces a stark choice: either more agents and fear, or more human solidarity and respect for human rights. We choose solidarity and rights over policing and fear, meaning a full, comprehensive and inclusive regularization program for all non-status migrants. As the mobilizations in the USA have shown, a full legalization process, what we call regularization, is a legitimate, and realistic demand."

National Day of Action
(Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal ...)
:::::

Across Canada, migrants, refugees and their allies will demonstrate against the deportation and detention of migrants and refugees, and for a full, inclusive, unconditional and ongoing regularization program, meaning STATUS FOR ALL!

Building on ongoing organizing efforts led by migrant communities across the Canadian state, we are demonstrating because hundreds of thousands of people live without status, while hundreds of thousands more are exploited by the arbitrary and racist policies of Immigration Canada. Thousands of migrants are forced to live in poverty, 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.
