[Lena McFarlane]

***PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY***

PICKET MINISTER OF CENSORSHIP AND DEPORTATION JASON KENNEY!

Monday 10 am
CIC Building
Location: 877 Expo Blvd, just behind BC Place - walk over from Tinseltown,
very close to Stadium Skytrain station & Costco

The War Resisters Campaign has called a picket to oppose the governments
position on deporting war resisters. No One Is Illegal calls on our allies
to join this picket and to oppose all deportations and detentions.

Under Kenney, deportations have increased, while the number of people
accepted as refugees and sponsored family members have drastically
dropped. Instead, Kenney has increased the number of temporary workers who
are constantly exploited for their labour. This month it was revealed that
Kenney boosted spending in his office by 35%, with much of the money being
used for advertising campaigns targeted at so-called ethnic voters.

Kenney is also a staunch supporter of imperialism, speaking out against
Israeli Apartheid Week organizing and pulling Canada out of the Durban
World Conference Against Racism. He introduced a citizenship guide that
omits the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ)
communities; defended Quebec Bill C-94 that discriminates against women
who wear the niqab; and stated that immigrants are not integrating well
into (colonial) Canada.

The People v. Kenney
Freedom to move
Right to stay, and to Return
We are many.

WE ARE MOVING! So please do not send us any snail mail at our previous
address, please email us to make arrangements for mail.

No One is Illegal-Vancouver is a grassroots anti-colonial
immigrant/refugee rights community collective with leadership from members
of migrant and/or racialized backgrounds. As a movement for
self-determination that challenges the ideology of immigration controls,
we are in full confrontation with Canadian border policies; denouncing and
taking action to combat racial profiling, detention and deportation, the
national security apparatus, law enforcement brutality, and exploitative
working conditions of migrants.

We struggle for the right for our communities to maintain their
livelihoods and resist war, occupation, and displacement; while supporting
indigenous sisters and brothers fighting theft of land and colonization.
We also place ourselves within the broader movement for global social
justice that struggles against capitalism, militarism, oppression,
poverty, imperialism, and other systems of domination and exploitation.
