Member of Weaving Our Worlds collective. SK Hussan, Executive Director of the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, in Toronto/Tkaoronto Mostafa Henaway, organizer with the Immigrant Workers Centre in Montreal/Kawenote Teiontiakon and author of Essential Work, Disposable Workers *ASL interpretation will be available* *FREE!* *Everyone Welcome!!* ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: Across Canada, millions of families are struggling to pay their rent, with racialized families hardest hit. Minimum wages are stagnant, especially for migrant workers, while housing prices continue to soar out of reach. Jobs are increasingly precarious and low-paid, even as large corporations make huge profits by clearcutting forests and mining on Indigenous territories without consent. Pollution and environmental destruction are worsening every year, causing more frequent and severe wildfires. Who is to blame? Liberal and Conservative parties both try to convince us that immigrants are the cause of these problems. This fits into a global trend: with Trump in the White House and far-right parties gaining support across the world, migrants have become the main scapegoat—fueling a populist movement that threatens democracy and civil liberties everywhere. What can we do about it? This workshop introduces participants to the lived realities of migrants and undocumented people in Canada. Longtime migrant justice organizers from across the country—each with decades of experience working alongside migrant communities—will help us understand who actually benefits, and who is harmed, when blame is placed on racialized immigrants instead of on the bosses, business owners, and billionaires who hold power.
