Regularize Everyone: It’s Time! Cross-Country Day of Action
We find ourselves in the midst of an alarming inequality crisis. Migrants, who play a crucial role in growing our food, caring for the sick, building our homes, and keeping society running, bear an enormous burden. To address both climate change and the affordability crisis, it is essential to regularize the status of all undocumented individuals.
On September 17, 2023, the day before Parliament returns, let us join together in widespread nationwide actions. Prime Minister Trudeau’s delay tactics are no longer acceptable, and we cannot afford to wait any longer.

Support Home Care Nurses!
Registered nurses at Paramed – Sault Ste. Marie are bargaining with their employer and need your support. For many home care nurses, low pay and poor working conditions are leading to burnout that is driving home care nurses into other sectors. These nurses love their work and want to provide the quality of care their patients need and deserve. That’s why they are fighting for better staffing, and better wages – so they can deliver better care.
Sign the petition to Sault Paramed, and demand they reach a fair agreement with home care nurses today!
