Solidarity Across Borders - Status for All! - Toronto, January 21, 2006.

On January 21, 2006, about fifty members of Solidarity Across Borders traveled to Toronto to picket outside the election offices of Immigration Minister Joe Volpe, joining Toronto allies involved with groups such as OCAP Immigration, No One Is Illegal-Toronto, Justicia for Migrant Workers, the Campaign to Stop Secret Trials, Toronto Action for Social Change, SIKLAB and others. Prior to the picket, two members of No One Is Illegal-Montreal were arrested and detained after trying to enter the office to demand a face-to-face meeting with Volpe with protesters. Many of the demonstrators who traveled to Toronto for the picket were also active participants in the No One Is Illegal March on Ottawa between June 18-25, 2005 (a one week march to Ottawa from Montreal). Solidarity Across Borders continues its “Status for All” campaign, with a planned mobilization for a Montreal city march in late May.
