Connexions Calendar

RefugeesWelcome


September 19, 2015


Toddler Alan Kurdi's tragic death by drowning on September 2nd is a call for urgent action on the global refugee crisis -- the largest since World War II. This crisis isn't inevitable. It is time for Canadian immigration and refugee policies to change. It is time for us to call for an end to the wars and environmental and economic collapse that forces people to become refugees and migrants.

As part of the month of #RefugeesWelcome actions called by 30+ cities across Canada, Toronto will be hosting a rally and teach-in with members from different refugee and migrant communities. Let's share, learn, resist, and build.

#RefugeesWelcome is a call to end all forces of displacement, all fortressed borders, and all migrant deaths - it is a call for the freedom to stay, move, and return.

Time: 3pm
Location: Avenue & Bloor, meet outside of Royal Ontario Museum Toronto, ON
