Second organizing assembly to plan 2015 status for all mobilization, rooted in the main demands and campaigns of Solidarity Across Borders: opposition to deportations, detentions and double punishment; for Status For All and building a Solidarity City. (Read more about our demands & campaigns here: www.solidarityacrossborders.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n

For more than a decade, since 2002, the May-June period has been a time for Status For All-themed mobilizations in Montreal. In recent years, we’ve organized decentralized Anti-Deportation Days with different organizations contributing events over two weeks (June 2014), as well as a community-based Status For All mobilization, with marches starting in four different neighborhoods and converging downtown (May 2013).<\/p>\n

We’ve sometimes mobilized around May Day, the international working class holiday rooted in immigrant worker struggles at the end of the 19th century, and often linked our spring mobilizations to anti-deportation struggles by individuals, families and communities. These are some models and inspirations that we want to consider again this year.<\/p>\n

The coming April-June period includes many very relevant events and dates: the anti-austerity Printemps 2015; the start of a period when temporary foreign workers who’ve lived in Canada for four years and more could face removal (April 1); anti-capitalist May Day (May 1); and the deadline for Zimbabweans and Haitians affected by the lifting of moratoriums to apply to stay in Canada (June 1).<\/p>\n

We welcome all members of the local community who would like to contribute to this effort, and agree with the Solidarity Across Borders demands, to participate in this assembly.<\/p>\n
