Panel Presentation & Short Films on the Root Causes of Displacement.

Tuesday May 28th at 6:00 pm

Unceded Coast Salish Territories

Dinner and Childcare provided. FREE EVENT!

Join us for a panel presentation and short films hosted by No One Is Illegal - Vancouver, Unceded Coast Salish Territories to hear how migrant justice is inseparable from anti-colonial land struggles, the fight against gentrification, climate justice, anti-war movements, and organizing against neoliberal trade agreements.

The world continues to suffer from climate change, economic policies, military wars and colonial occupations. Among the lives that are lost and the lands that are destroyed are those who are displaced, carrying with them the stories of injustice. Displaced peoples are the human faces of economic, social and ecological crises - stateless Palestinian refugees to the over-representation of Indigenous people in the Downtown Eastside, climate refugees escaping drowning waters to boats of migrants fleeing genocidal wars, mining corporations destroying their land, and global economic imperialism. Justice requires us to fight against displacement at all levels - for the right to remain, the freedom to move, and the right to return.
