\n– The Finance Committee (Emily, Jaggi & Rosalind)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nThousands of people are deported from Montreal every year. Many others live in precarity; under temporary workers\u2019 programmes, without full status, or without papers. They are vulnerable to super-exploitation in the workplace and to domestic violence, and are denied access to healthcare, education or other social services. Canada\u2019s immigration system is part of a system of global apartheid, protecting the privileges of a tiny minority at the expense of the vast majority, who are denied the means to live in dignity. Individually, we have little power to change this situation; only by working together can we begin to challenge it.<\/p>\n
\nEveryone who agrees with our demands is welcome, particularly those facing the impact of the immigration system themselves. While discussion is open to all, only members will participate in decision-making. Members agree with our demands and are either directly affected by the immigration system, involved in one of our committees, or contribute to SAB organizing when and as they can.<\/p>\n
\nSAB opposes the deportations, detentions and double punishment of migrants. We call for status for all in Canada, now! We work to make Montreal a solidarity city, where everyone can live in full dignity with equal access to healthcare, education, and other public services.<\/p>\n
\nComing to an assembly is a great way to start getting involved in SAB! In addition, SAB has five active committees (Health for All!, Collectif \u00e9ducation sans fronti\u00e8res, Food for All, Shelters not Borders!, and Support) and two temporary committees (Decolonize and Anti-Oppression). SAB also actively supports and participates in the Status for All coalition with others. Contact us at solidaritesansfrontieres@gmail.com to find out which committees are actively recruiting and how to get involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
