Canada has spent over $162 million dollars on deporting people SINCE PM Trudeau promised regularization in 2021. Our people are facing abuse, starvation and mental health crisis as the PM delays. Stop breaking promises. Regularization Now. End the racism.

PM @JustinTrudeau is spending $100+ millions terrifying and deporting people breaking regularization promises. "I don’t have enough money to eat. I’m so sick because I work so much and I don’t have enough money to take care of myself.” #StatusForAll thestar.com/business/shockin…

Uber intentionally classifies its drivers as independent contractors instead of employees, excluding these workers from the province's basic labour protections... including the right to earn at least the minimum wage. 🧵 (1/4)

If you drive for Uber or another app-based company in NL, and you're fed up with low pay & unstable working conditions, get in touch. It's time to learn your rights and get organized. @WorkersActionNL is here to support you through the process. workersactionnl.ca 🧵 (4/4)

Ben has been left in the lurch by a closed work permit & an employer rescinding job offer after arrival. Closed work permits are bonkers & give employers WAY too much power, leaving workers vulnerable to poverty & deportation. Every $ helps 🙏🏼❤️ Pls RT! gofundme.com/f/migrant-solid…

On the Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember those in the transgender community who lost their lives due to hate and violence just because of who they are. We must all stand up to discrimination and be the voice for those no longer with us, and those too afraid to speak.
