actionnetwork.orgFor a Canada as welcoming as we areThe federal election is on! It is a critical time to remind the leaders of all political parties to run an election campaign that helps to maintain and not erode the continued broad consensus in Canada - that we are strengthened by the people who come here seeking safety or a better life. The Canadian Council for Refugees (CCR), Amnesty International Canada and the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers (CARL) collaborated to pen this open letter and urge parties to commit to both messaging and platform policies that honour refugees and newcomers and their contributions to our country, and ensure they continue to feel safe and welcome in our communities.

Can you join me and write a letter?

The outrageous actions by #ICE to put these people in an El Salvador #GULAG - aka a #CONCENTRATIONCAMP -
