Solidarity Across Borders is organizing a one-day teach-in and conference to discuss and share strategies about building and reinforcing local networks of mutual aid and support, as well as assuring access to essential services, for non-status migrants and all residents of Montreal.We’re inviting local community members — documented or undocumented; directly affected and support persons — to join together to continue building a Solidarity City in Montreal, a campaign launched by Solidarity Across Borders in 2010.
Recently the City of Montreal misleadingly declared itself a Sanctuary City, falsely giving the impression that Montreal no longer cooperates with the Canada Borders Service Agency (CBSA). Let’s come together to make Montreal a true Solidarity and Sanctuary City, from the ground up.
