RALLY AND MARCH: SUPPORT, DON'T DEPORT
A day of action in support of undocumented immigrants

Meet at 11:00 am at Queen's Park and march to City Hall for a rally at noon.

You are invited to join in this solidarity action in support of undocumented immigrants living in Canada. The action, organized by a coalition led by the Canadian Hispanic Congress, seeks to promote the following:

• A moratorium on deportations while new immigration policy is put in place.

• A work permit program offered to law-abiding workers and their families, leading to the opportunity to apply for status.

• A long-term solution for a fair program that permits skilled workers to immigrate into jobs in the construction and service sectors.

Borderless is a twenty-five minute documentary poem about migrants living and working without status in Canada. Told in their own voices, the stories of Geraldo, an undocumented Costa Rican construction worker, and Angela, a second-generation Caribbean domestic worker, bring to life problems of labour exploitation and family separation caused by restrictive immigration policy. Viewers are introduced to an invisible workforce and invited to reflect on the hidden costs of sustaining our first world economy.

Directed by Gemini nominated filmmaker Min Sook Lee, written by poet Dionne Brand and narrated by dub poet d'bi young. Borderless is a production of KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, featuring Avvy Go, STATUS Campaign, Carlos Pimentel , Carpenters Union, Juan Sierra, Laborer's International Union of North America, Yolyn Valenzuela, Siklab-Ontario and Sima Sahar Zerehi, No One Is Illegal. Moderated by Tanya Chute Molina, Program Coordinator, Refugees and Migration, KAIROS. Filmmaker Min Sook Lee will be present.

Co-presented and co-sponsored by Mayworks and KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives.
