Migrant Spring

Spring is coming, the snow will melt, let’s get ready. Mark your calendars for March 16-17, 2024, as we launch Migrant Spring!

Even in spring, working people are too worried about paying our bills to stop and smell the flowers. And we are being divided, the richest few are blaming im/migrants for rising costs. But migrants live here, we have deep roots, we grow and care for our communities and are excluded from basic rights. Together, this Migrant Spring, join us to unite against racism and win equality and permanent resident status for all.

Attend Actions: Actions are confirmed in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver and more will be added soon. RSVP on this page.

Organize in Your Community: Organize an event in your own community. You can organize pickets at MP offices, letter-writing, forums and community gatherings. Register your event on this page or email us at info@migrantrights.ca if you want to talk through ideas.

MIGRANT SPRING

• Immigration Minister Marc Miller promised to bring regularization to the Cabinet in the Spring. Let’s hold him to his word and ensure it means permanent resident status for all undocumented people, no exceptions.
• The clock is ticking for migrant care worker programs expiring on June 17. Without replacement, thousands of racialized migrant women who take care of children, sick, and elderly face deportation or may become undocumented. Already, many are denied permanent residency because of unfair language testing and education accreditation requirements. This Spring, win justice for care workers.
• Landlords are raising our rents beyond reach, grocery monopolies are making it harder to put food on our tables, bad governments are privatizing healthcare and education. They are scapegoating im/migrants because racism is a strategy to divide and distract us. This Spring, push back against xenophobia and hold those responsible accountable.

Migrant Spring is about more than just one weekend of action—it’s the next the next step in our fight for equality, justice, #StatusforAll and #UniteAgainstRacism. Migrant Spring is a series of protests, educational activities and actions leading up to summer 2024, and beyond!

This Migrant Spring, let’s reject division, poverty and inequality. Together, we will cultivate a future where everyone can thrive.
