ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
For white folks, unlearning racism, and learning how to be anti-racist is life-long work and life-long learning. No matter what stage you’re at with your learning, everyone is warmly welcome!
This workshop introduces participants to the power dynamics of global capitalism, war, occupation, and colonialism that shape why people move. It will discuss the realities of the Canadian immigration and refugee systems, dispel common myths, and illuminate the realities of what life is really like for the 1.7 million, mostly racialized people, living as migrant workers, students, and refugees as well as those living in the shadows undocumented without immigration status.
The workshop will also introduce participants to the ways that migrant communities are resisting, the vital work of the Migrant Rights Network, the struggle for status for all, and the ways that all of us, from every walk of life, can contribute to the struggle of justice and dignity for all.
ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:
Syed Hussan is a Toronto based-activist, executive director of the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, and a member of the Migrant Rights Network Secretariat.
