Since 2004, our comrades from Solidarity Across Borders have organized an annual “Status For All” march to demand an end to all deportations and detentions, as well as to support open borders, regularization for all immigrants and refugees, and the creation of a real “solidarity city” in Montreal.
As antifascists, we wholeheartedly support these demands – we reject all colonial and imperialist borders, and want all migrants crossing them to be treated with respect and dignity. We hold dear the cause of migrant justice, especially in our current political climate of a rising far right, and of increasing normalization of anti-immigrant and islamophobic rhetoric in our mainstream political parties and media. In this context, it is more important than ever for us to have a large presence in the fight for migrant justice, in Montreal and elsewhere.
Montréal Antifasciste endorses the Status For All march, and would like to participate concretely by calling for an antifascist contingent. As usual, we invite all comrades to join us behind the Montréal Antifasciste banner!
