Regularize Everyone: It’s time.

September 17, 2023
Take to the streets
Across the country

Bills are skyrocketing, rent is beyond reach, forests are ablaze, and healthcare is being privatized. We are in the midst of an inequality crisis, with migrants who grow the food, care for the sick, build the homes, and keep us going bearing some of the heaviest burden. Lack of permanent resident status leaves them without basic rights and protections; yet without them, society would grind to a halt. Combating climate change and ending the affordability crisis also requires regularizing all undocumented people. Achieving justice and equality for all requires permanent resident status for all. On September 17, 2023, the day before Parliament returns, let’s unite in massive cross-country actions. Prime Minister Trudeau keeps stalling and we cannot keep waiting. The time for change is now.

Rallies are planned for cities across Canada. The Fredericton and Ottawa rallies will be held on September 16. The one in St. John’s takes place on September 25.

The Migrant Rights Network urges groups and organizations across the country to coordinate actions.

KAIROS Canada will attend the rally in Toronto. We will gather outside on the west side of the St. Paul’s Bloor Street Church, 227 Bloor St East – from 1:30 to 1:50 p.m. and then march together to Yonge and Bloor for the 2 p.m. start.

If you represent a KAIROS local group or another organization, you are encouraged to endorse this day of action and offer support. Learn more! Visit: Regularize Everyone: It’s time. If you plan to organize an event or attend, please let us know! We will share your engagement on social media. Write to Cheryl McNamara at cmcnamara@kairoscanada.org.
