May Day 2010: March for Status for All! (NOII-Toronto)

May 1: NOII - March for Status for All!

Rising out of schools, shelters and apartment blocks from Jane and Finch to Crescent Town, our voices have reached the streets and the hallways of power. From the 2004 No One Is Illegal march from Montreal to Ottawa, to the first Toronto May Day of Action in 2006, to the take over of Yonge & Dundas square on May Day in 2009, we have worked tirelessly to create real meaningful change - stopping deportations, winning access to schools, changing federal immigration policy.

We have been on picket lines with labour unions, on barricades in solidarity with Indigenous struggles, supported people's organizations in streets and in communities.

Now, in 2010, as the Conservative government arrests and deports our friends. As they tear apart our families. As they push us in to unsafe jobs. As they call us "bogus refugees" and "illegals", and do it with a smile, we say no mas, no more.

On May 1, respectful of the history of struggle that has gone before us, and in the spirit of solidarity, strength and anger, join us.
