We support Indigenous struggles and movements for self-determination. Read our Statement of Support for Indigenous Struggles and Sovereignty:
http://www.solidarityacrossborders.org/en/statement-of-support-for-indigenous-struggles-and-sovereignty
We also march together to demand an end to deportations and detentions, and we denounce the double punishment of migrants with criminal records. We demand Status for All, and organize for a “Solidarity City” for all residents of Montreal. Info:http://www.solidarityacrossborders.org/en/revendications
Land, freedom, self-determination, Canada is an illegal nation.
We live here! We work here! We’re staying here!
