In solidarity with the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty and No One Is
Illegal Toronto and Montreal, as they protest the Ontario Border Security 
Summit, we will be demonstrating at the Canadian / U.S. border to oppose the
 Canadian government’s racist policies and the detention, detainment and 
deportation of immigrants and refugees. This is an opportunity to unify our 
struggles as we fight to shut down the detention centres for good and open 
the borders to all.

No One Is Illegal – Vancouver is an organization that is committed to
fighting for the rights of immigrants and refugees.

No One Is Illegal – Vancouver demands:
- Stop the racist war on immigrants!
- Stop the policy of deportations now!
- General amnesty for all detained immigrants in Canadian prisons!
- Open the borders for detained immigrants in U.S. prisons!
