@MWACCanada
Building a member-led organization of migrant farmworkers, care workers, students + more to win migrant & worker justice. Secretariat of @migrantrightsca
- We are again filled with grief and rage. Another migrant farmworker has died. He tested positive, was placed in quarantine, and "found unresponsive". He came here to grow your tomatoes. Was he checked up on? Did he get to say goodbye? We don't know. @JustinTrudeau 1/3
- BREAKING: Collective action works! Immigration Canada issued Charles a 1 year permit (TRP) because we organized. CHARLES WILL NOT BE DEPORTED TOMORROW. Share this message! TAKE TO THE STREETS SEP 14-15 to win regularization for everyone MigrantRights.ca/Sept
00:00 - No #EmancipationDay off for Black Caribbean peach harvesters in ON, working 14hrs/day, 7days/week for min wage. No holiday pay. Closed work permits mean we're tied to our employer. Does that sound like freedom to you? @JustinTrudeau we want equal rights and #StatusForAll now!
- In Toronto, there’s a migrant movement in this town - we want #StatusForAll, and if we don’t get it, shut it down
00:00 - Three migrants have died to grow these fruits and vegetables. 1300 infected. You could mandate physical distancing at work and home now. You could call for #StatusforAll. SHAME ON YOU.Theres nothing better than Ontario-grown fruit and vegetables! @samoosterhoff, @erniehardeman and I were able to pick some peaches today at Cherry Avenue Farms, which was founded in 1799!
00:00 - MEDIA RELEASE: We are horrified and enraged as Ontario forces COVID-19 positive migrant farmworkers to keep working. @fordnation has responded to 3 deaths by signing a death warrant for more migrant. Migrants will get sicker, keep infecting others, and more will die. #OnPoli
- Over 100 migrant workers are bravely speaking out, refusing to be scared by bosses and immigration rules, calling on PM @JustinTrudeau for Full Immigration Status for All. Amplify their voice by sharing this image, and calling the PM: MigrantRights.ca/CallforStatus!
- Migrant and undocumented members taking the streets in Toronto to unite with all workers to fight for decent work and #StatusForAll The fight to #RegularizeEveryone is a worker’s fight. United, we are stronger: StatusforAll.ca #EnoughIsEnough
- When @osbcucscso goes on strike, the rich will leave their kids to careworkers. We careworkers are affected. But education workers are low-waged workers like us. We support you! Fight! Fight! Fight! Message from @MWACCAnada Migrant Careworker Members #ontedsolidarity #onpoli
00:00 - 💥BREAKING💥 Migrant farmworkers *on strike* in Ontario to protest unsafe living conditions. "The only remaining distinction between their living and working conditions and slavery is the fact that their boss has not hit them" #StatusForAll now! jamaicaobserver.com/news/farm-work…
- Replying to @MWACCanada"Canada's immigration and food systems are an endless agony - migrants are worked to the bone, migrants keep dying but are denied the ability to protect themselves that only permanent resident status can provide... 2/3
- Replying to @MWACCanada…We have no words left to describe the horror or the pain, and migrant workers don't want empty words from political leaders, they want action, migrants deserve to live" * * * Angry? Join us.
- You are being led to believe that an influx of immigrants outpacing the construction of homes is causing the crisis. But that’s not true. The real issue is that investors and builders are building fewer homes to keep prices high. Read our explainer.
