South-West in Solidarity against Borders<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
This is an invitation to activists and organizations based in Little Burgundy, Point St. Charles, St. Henri and Verdun to come to a meeting to launch a South-West mobilization for this year’s\u00a0Status for All march, organized by Dignidad Migrante, the Immigrant Workers Centre, Mexicans United for Regularization, No One Is Illegal Montreal, Solidarity Across Borders, as well as individuals.<\/span><\/div>\n
Saturday, 2 March, 10:30am<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

Centre Lorne, <\/strong>2390 Ryde St, <\/em>2nd\u00a0floor (Charlevoix metro)<\/strong><\/div>\n
wheel-chair accessible<\/div>\n
coffee and muffins!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
This year, the annual Status for All march will take place on Saturday, 18 May.\u00a0People will march from four starting points – South-west, Hochelaga, Parc Ex\/Villeray, and C\u00f4te des Neiges – to converge on downtown.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
As usual, we will demand status for all in Canada, an end to deportations, an end to detentions and a Solidarity City. This year, in the context of the Idle\u00a0No More movement,\u00a0we will put a particular\u00a0emphasis on our anti-colonialial analysis. <\/span><\/div>\n
The context of the march is of course\u00a0particularly charged this year: with borders closing to refugees\u00a0through mechanisms like C-31 and its ‘safe country’ list; increasing numbers of people forced to live without papers; an average of\u00a015,000 people deported annually, and at least 9000 detained every year;\u00a0cuts to refugee health care; reports of people deported from Canada being killed or imprisoned; planned use of\u00a0exploitable temporary migrant labour in Plan Nord\u00a0… <\/span><\/div>\n
At this meeting, we will present the Status for All march, form a south-west mobilizing committee, and decide on a starting point and potential march route.<\/span><\/div>\n
**If you can’t make it, but want to be involved, please let us know and we’ll keep you in the loop! <\/span><\/div>\n

Help organize the Status For All Contingent from Villeray-Parc-Extension<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A callout to supporters and community organizers in the neighborhoods around Villeray, Parc-Extension, St-Michel, Ahuntsic, Rosemont-Petite-Patrie, Mile End, etc<\/p>\n

Organizing Meeting: SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1-3pm, Caf\u00e9 Art\u00e8re (7000 Avenue du Parc)<\/p>\n

As part of this year’s Status for All immigrant rights demonstration (May 18, 2013), there will be several contingents starting in various neighborhood of Montreal, that will march downtown to converge together at Philips Square. The initial callout for the demo is linked here: http:\/\/www.solidarityacrossborders.org\/en\/francais-preparez-vos-calendriers-18-mai-marche-un-statut-pour-tous-toutes<\/wbr><\/wbr><\/wbr><\/wbr><\/a><\/p>\n

We are organizing a meeting for everyone interested in helping to mobilize and organize for the contingent that will be starting in Villeray-Parc-Extension. While the contingent is starting Villeray-Parc X, we call on everyone living in those neighborhoods as well as nearby areas to get involved with organizing the contingent (St-Michel, Ahuntsic, Rosemont-Petite-Patrie, Mile End, etc).<\/p>\n

Our first organizing meeting together will be SATURDAY, MARCH 2 from 1-3pm at Caf\u00e9 Art\u00e8re at 7000 Avenue du Parc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our tentative agenda is: i) introductions\/information about the Status For All Campaign; ii) determining the route of our contingent (eg: metro Jarry to metro Parc to metro Rosemont to eventually march downtown); iii) mobilization and outreach in our neighborhoods; iv) logistics; v) upcoming meetings.<\/p>\n

The meeting will be in French, with whisper translation towards English and Spanish. There will also be free childcare on-site. Caf\u00e9 Art\u00e8re’s main space is accessible to wheelchairs, with a ramp outside, but the washrooms are not fully wheelchair accessible.<\/p>\n

The basis of unity for this meeting are the main demands of the Status for All demonstration: i) an end to deportations and detentions; ii) for an ongoing regularization program for all non-status migrants, meaning Status For All; iii) opposition to the double punishment of migrants; iv) for creating and building a Solidarity City in Montreal. We want to create a group of active neighborhood residents and activists who will mobilize together in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

If you’re attending the meeting, please confirm you’re coming at solidaritesansfrontieres@gmail.com<\/wbr><\/a> (please let us know 24 hours in advance if you need childcare)<\/p>\n

If you can’t attend, but still want to get involved, also e-mail us at solidaritesansfrontieres@gmail.com<\/wbr><\/a><\/p>\n

Please share this invitation with friends and allies based in Villeray, Parc-Extension, St-Michel, Ahuntsic, Rosemont-Petite-Patrie, Mile End and other nearby neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
