Migrant Justice marches on the streets of Montreal (2003-2007)

For the past five years, "Status for All" or "No One Is Illegal" marches have taken place in the streets in Montreal (in 2005, we walked to Ottawa, after marching through the neighborhoods of Montreal for two days). For video, photos, audio and text from previous migrant justice marches in Montreal, click HERE.

Solidarity Across Borders is once again organizing a “Status for All!” demonstration, part of a National Day of Action, and also part of Mayworks! -- a cultural festival of working class and immigrant resistance in Côte-des-Neiges (May 4, 2008). If you are interested in getting involved in the organizing of this year’s march, contact sansfrontieres@resist.ca
