Townhall: Migrants in Crisis! Migrants in Action

Join the Migrant Rights Network on January 30th, 2022 - the day before politicians return to work in Ottawa – to hear from migrant leaders from across the country about the problems we are facing and the solutions we need to ensure a fair future for all. Omicron has thrown us into a deeper crisis, but Prime Minister Trudeau’s government is doing even less than before. We are forced to work in dangerous conditions without decent wages or paid sick days. We  have lost work but have been left  without income support. We cannot access healthcare and other basic protections. Deportations continue, and families and communities are being torn apart. This government has abandoned everyone but the rich. Join us to build a movement that can win justice for all of us.
