Theseassemblies\u00a0are places to discuss overall strategy of Solidarity Across Borders, react to changes in the political context, bring new proposals and make decisions. They are opportunities to think and plan together and to share resources as we oppose deportations, detentions and double punishment of migrants, and work to make Montreal into a Solidarity City.<\/p>\n<p>** If your committee\/ad hoc working group has an action proposal for the agenda, please send it to the Decision-making and Organizing Committee (through your DMOC liaison, otherwise to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:solidaritesansfrontieres@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\">solidaritesansfrontieres@<wbr \/>gmail.com<\/a>). Proposals can also be made by individuals at the\u00a0assembly. The\u00a0assembly\u00a0will prioritize the order of proposals.<\/p>\n<p>** The minutes from the Winter 2015\u00a0Assembly\u00a0are available. Please read them and if you have any changes to suggest, bring them to the\u00a0assembly.<\/p>\n<p>WHY?<br \/>\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<p>WHO IS WELCOME?<br \/>\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<p>OUR DEMANDS<br \/>\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<p>HOW TO GET INVOLVED<br \/>\nComing to an\u00a0assembly\u00a0is a great way to start getting involved in SAB! In addition, SAB has six committees (Health for All!, Collectif \u00e9ducation sans fronti\u00e8res, Food for All, Shelters not Borders!, Support, and Building A Solidarity City) and two temporary committees (Decolonize and Anti-Oppression). SAB also actively participates in the Status for All coalition.
