Draw the Line: Denouncing Injustices, Demanding a Just and Sustainable Future

The “Draw the Line” rally was held in Montreal to denounce social and climate injustices and to demand a just and sustainable future.

Yesterday, the Immigrant Workers Centre (IWC-CTI) took part in this gathering, which brought together unions, community groups, and social justice activists under one common message: it is time to draw the line. A line against systemic exploitation of workers, a line against cuts to public services, and a line against injustices that particularly impact migrant workers and Indigenous communities.

Throughout the event, speeches and chants highlighted the urgency of building a world based on climate justice, economic equality, dignity for migrants, and peace. The banners raised and the voices in the crowd reflected a collective determination: to refuse corporate greed and defend a common future built on solidarity.

The IWC-CTI stood alongside its allies to remind everyone that the struggle of migrant workers is not isolated but forms an integral part of the broader fight for social justice in Quebec and beyond.

We remain convinced that this world is ours to build – for justice, for peace, for the planet.

Join Our Campaigns

The IWC-CTI calls on everyone to support the ongoing struggles:

  • Reject Bill C-2, which further criminalizes migrants and restricts their rights.

  • Support the campaigns of Amazon and Dollarama workers, who are organizing against mass layoffs, low wages, and unsafe conditions.

  • Build lasting solidarity to defend climate, economic, and social justice.

Together, we are stronger. Join us now.
