This Saturday, the Immigrant Workers’ Centre and the Migrant Justice Clinic are calling an emergency town hall in response to Bill C-12, a dangerous piece of legislation that threatens to deepen deportations, weaken refugee protections, and expand state control over migrant lives.
At a time when migrant workers, asylum seekers, and undocumented people already face growing precarity, Bill C-12 represents a major escalation. It opens the door to broader deportation powers, limits access to fair refugee hearings, and concentrates decision making in the hands of the federal government under vague notions of “public interest.” Advocates across the country have warned that these measures risk violating basic rights and undermining due process.
This town hall is a space to come together, get informed, and organize.
Participants will receive updates on the latest developments around Bill C-12, learn what these changes could mean on the ground, and discuss concrete strategies to resist and respond collectively. Whether you are directly impacted, organizing in your community, or standing in solidarity, your presence matters.
This is not just about one bill. It is about the broader system that treats migrant lives as disposable, ties status to employers, and uses immigration policy as a tool of control and exclusion. We know that rights are not given, they are won through collective struggle.
