to Ontario Minister responsible for prisons Yasir Naqvi demanding that
he cut all ties with CBSA and stop collaborating in the indefinite,
cruel and unjust detention of migrants in Ontario's maximum security
prisons. The Minister, who is also the Ontario Liberal House Leader, has
yet to reply and Ontario continues to profit from Harper's
anti-immigrant laws. Immigration detentions must end.<br /> <br /> So on
March 16, 2015 representatives from the End Immigration Detention
Network, No One Is Illegal Ottawa, and the Parent-Child Coalition for Justice visited Minister Naqvi and demanded that he act
now.<br /> <br /> Add your voice to ours. Take action with us! <br /> <br /> * SIGN THIS PETITION: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.change.org%2Fp%2Fharper-end-indefinite-immigration-detention&h=HAQECYVRf&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.change.org/p/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>harper-end-indefinite-immig<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>ration-detention</a><br /> <br />

imprisonment of migrants in Ontario prisons without trial or charge.<br /> <br /> Tweet: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fyasir_naqvi&h=FAQHWNjSx&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>yasir_naqvi</a><br /> Call: 416-325-0408, 416-325-7754, or 613-722-6414<br /> Write: ynaqvi.mpp.co@liberal.ola.<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>org<br /> <br /> SOME FACTS: <br /> <br /> - Immigration detention is imprisonment without trial or charges. <br /> <br />
- Of the 9,932 detentions that took place in 2013, 2,434 detentions
took place in Ontario's maximum security prisons. At any given time,
between 520 and 700 people are in immigration detention in Canada. About
40 per cent of them are in Ontario provincial jails.<br /> <br /> - In fiscal 2013-2014, the Feds paid Ontario more than $21 million for jail space for immigration detainees.<br /> <br />
- The release rate at the monthly detention review hearing where
continued imprisonment of immigrants facing deportations in Central
Region (Ontario, minus Ottawa and Kingston) is 9%. Its 25.5% in the rest
of the country.<br /> <br /> - Detainees in Ontario jails spend an average
of 40 days in custody – twice the 20-day average for immigration
detainees in general. Some, of course, are in jail for 8-10 years.
Detainees in Lindsay stay an average of 82 days there (allowing for
early release, that’s equivalent to a four-month jail sentence for
someone in the criminal justice system). <br /> <br /> IMMIGRATION DETENTION<br /> ** Is not a provincial matter<br /> ** Is imprisonment without an end in sight<br /> ** Lacks due process<br /> ** Separates families<br /> ** Kills<br /> <br /> Our letter to Naqvi: <a href="http://endimmigrationdetention.com/2014/11/18/our-letter-to-provincial-corrections-minister-yasir-naqvi/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>endimmigrationdetention.com<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>/2014/11/18/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>our-letter-to-provincial-co<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>rrections-minister-yasir-n<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>aqvi/</a></span><span class="fbPhotoCaptionText"> <br /> For more information:<br /> <a href="http://www.endimmigrationdetention.com/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">www.endimmigrationdetentio<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>n.com</a> <br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/endimmigrationdetention" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>endimmigrationdetention</a></span><br />

<span class="im">No One is Illegal Ottawa is a group of im/migrants and allies guided by
anti-oppression principles that advocates and fights for the dignity and
self determination of all im/migrants regardless of status. This year
we kicked off the Solidarity City campaign to ensure that city and
social services in the city are open to all migrants regardless of
status. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="im">We launched the End Immigration Detention (EIDN) campaign in
Ottawa to support the activities of the broader national campaign. The
EIDN campaign aims to educate the public around migrant detention and to
seek an end to the indefinite detention of migrant families and
children. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="im">In June, we collaborated with migrant justice organizers to
support actions and panels on migrant detention for the ICOPA
conference, and in August we participated in the migration movement
assembly during the People's Social Forum, in Ottawa. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="im">On <span style="font-size: 13px;"><span>Nov. 7</span></span> last
year, we collaborated with Octopus Books for the Ottawa launch of EIDN
member Tings Chak's book on migrant detention, "Undocumented: The
architecture of migrant detention". We have also continued to support
migrant families in Ottawa facing deportation; seeking sanctuary, and
offering financial, legal and emotional support. We hope to continue our
direct action, campaign organizing, and support work in the next year.

SUPPORT MIGRANTS WHO ARE SEPERATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN!<br />
<br />
Join the End Immigration Detention Network, Parent-Child Coalition for Justice and the Raging Grannies for the families in solidarity with immigration detainees rally on unceded and unsurrendered Algonquin Territory.<br />
<br />
<b>WHEN:</b> 9:00am on Monday, March 16 2015<br />
<b>WHERE:</b> Office of Yasir Naqvi, MPP for Ottawa Centre and Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services<br />
109 Catherine Street<br />
<br />
<b>THE ACTION</b><br />
We will rally outside MPP/Minister of Community Safety and Corrections Yasir Naqvi’s office. A delegation will then deliver children's books about incarceration and migrant justice to Minister Naqvi to share with his kids, for all those children denied access to their own families due to detention and deportation.<br />
<br />
On November 18th 2014, the End Immigration Detention Network sent a letter to Minister Naqvi requesting that he cut all ties with CBSA and stop collaborating in the indefinite, cruel and unjust detention of migrants in Ontario detention centres. The minister has yet to reply and continues to perpetuate this injustice. Immigration detentions must end.<br />
<br />
<b>IMMIGRATION DETENTION</b><br />
** Is not a provincial matter<br />
** Is imprisonment without an end in sight<br />
** Lacks due process<br />

Migrants in a maximum security prison in Lindsay Ontario have been on strike since September 17, 2013. They have refused to enter their cells, boycotted their detention reviews and have been on hunger strike - 2 of them for over 60 days. Striking detainees have been deported, locked up in segregation, denied medical services and transferred to other prisons. Inspired by their actions, migrant justice organizers in solidarity have formed the End Immigration Detention Network.<br />

families of Michael Brown and Eric Garner who are just two of the many Black people (including children) who have been killed by police in the
past year. The violence perpetrated on Black lives by the police and
other white supremacist institutions in the United States show the
endemic role of anti-black racism in the criminal justice system. The
same anti-black racism in Canada lead to the death of Jermaine Carby by
the Peel Regional Police on September 24 and the subsequent lack of
accountability by the police to his family's questions about his death.
There is a <a href="http://toronto.mediacoop.ca/blog/ajamu-nangwaya/18378" target="_blank">long history</a> of police violence towards Black lives in Canada.<br />
<br />
We stand with you in outrage and demand justice. <br />
<br />
Anti-black
racism extends beyond policing practices to border and immigration
enforcement, where Black migrants and refugees have become the targets
of expulsion and attack. Canadian immigration policies devalue Black
lives by deporting refugees into unsafe situations, tearing apart
families, and uprooting lives they have established here in Canada. The
moratorium on deportations to Haiti and Zimbabwe was recently ended,
which cruelly exposes at least 3500 people to potential removal in the
coming years, if not earlier.<br />
<br />
We express our collective
solidarity with Black people resisting the repressive and brutal
practices of the Canadian state whether it's in our communities or at
their borders. <br />
<br />
We stand with you and renew our commitment to anti-racist resistance. Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111964895622132680.post-10070835981916390002014-12-03T13:08:00.000-05:002014-12-03T13:10:26.773-05:00Dance Party for NOII - Ottawa<b>Saturday December 20th, 2014 </b><br />

No One is Illegal Ottawa {NOII}
Is an all-volunteer group of migrants and allies that advocate and fight for the dignity and self determination of all migrants regardless of status. They work to oppose policies designed to exploit and marginalize migrants. They do their work through both campaign and direct support work of migrants directly affected by the immigration system. In their “Solidarity City” campaign work, they work with social service agencies, legal clinics, and health services in Ottawa to ensure that undocumented people and migrants have access to services regardless of status. In our direct action work, we support migrants (particularly migrant families & queer migrants) through connecting them with legal/personal support resources, organizing direct action campaigns with them, and helping them and their families access sanctuary when they face deportation.

<br />
Justice for Deepan (J4D)
The Justice for Deepan (J4D) support group of volunteers was formed in July 2013 to support Deepan Budlakoti in his quest to have his citizenship restored. Deepan Budlakoti is an Ottawa-born man who the Canadian government is trying to deport to India, a country where he has no family, has never lived and is not a citizen. Deepan's citizenship was illegally revoked by the government after he served jail time. In a clear violation of established precedents and laws, the government doubly punished him by revoking his citizenship after he had completed his time in prison. He is currently fighting at the Federal Court for his right to live and work in Canada as the Canadian citizen he was before the government revoked his citizenship. Funds raised by Queer Mafia would go towards the substantial legal costs incurred by Deepan fighting for his legal rights.

Accessibility note:
Babylon Nightclub is an accessible venue. The washrooms are located on the main floor and are accessible as well (Not easy to navigate with motorized Wheelchair). There is a small lip (approximately 1'' ) at the front entrance and we will have access to a ramp if needed.
The washrooms at this event will be gender neutral in recognition that so often gender variant, trans, two spirit and women identified people are at greater risk to violence and harassment. The QM hopes to create safer spaces for folks to be who they are and to enjoy their night free from violence and body policing. This includes making a commitment to providing gender-neutral washrooms.<br />
<br />
Safer Space Policy:
QM collectively strives to create spaces that are free of as many barriers as possible as means to working towards liberation. This means that we are all responsible for creating the spaces we desire, by educating ourselves, each other and ensuring that we are continually engaging in these conversations and creating relationships of support and collective responsibility. While we recognize that no space is exclusively “safe” for anyone, we must collectively work towards mitigating harms. In response to certain experiences that have happened within our spaces, we have decided to remix ground rules to apply to a specific situation in which groups of people come together to make themselves vulnerable: <a href="http://thequeermafia.com/events/safer-spaces-policy/">http://thequeermafia.com/events/safer-spaces-policy/</a><br />
<br />
QM works towards recognizing dynamics of power and privilege that exist within society and which have historically oppressed our communities. We believe that these same dynamics and tensions exist within our own communities and we are working continuously towards addressing these tensions and creating supportive spaces. People participating in our events and dance parties are asked to be aware of their language and behavior and to think about whether these may be harming others. Our spaces are not spaces for explicit or implicit violence, racism, sexism, ageism, transphobia, cissexism, sizeism, fatphobia, sexual harassment, and gender policing, or doing anything to another person without their consent. Acting in a way that disrespects, harms others or undermines these values will not be tolerated. QM reserves the right to assess & manage circumstances and situations in the best interest of our collective vision towards creating ‘liberation’ and ‘safer’ spaces.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111964895622132680.post-15725432623123057042014-11-15T13:27:00.001-05:002014-11-15T13:27:19.433-05:00Launching Undocumented: The Architecture of Migrant Detention<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In the past six years, over 80,000 people have been jailed, without charge or trial, with no end in sight. This includes children, who are detained or are separated indefinitely from their caregivers. This is the reality of immigration detention in Canada - a reality that is violently invisibilized. Migrants are detained primarily because they are undocumented. Likewise, these sites of detention bare little trace —drawings and photos are classified; access is extremely limited. The detention centres, too, are undocumented.<br />
<br />
Undocumented: The Architecture of Migrant Detention (published by Architecture Observer 2014) documents the banality and violence of the architecture in contrast to the stories of daily resistance among immigration detainees. This book explores migrant detention centres in Canada, the fastest growing incarceration sector in North America's prison industrial complex, and questions the role of architectural design in the control and management of migrant bodies in such spaces. Using the conventional architectural tools of representation, we situate, spatialize, and confront the silenced voices of those who are detained and the anonymous individuals who design spaces of confinement.<br />
<br />

One Is Illegal Ottawa, on unceded Algonquin territory - NOII Ottawa
condemns and calls for an immediate end for the ongoing attacks against
the people of Palestine by the Israeli forces. <span style="line-height: 22.39px; text-align: justify;">As
a migrant justice organization, we affirm our solidarity with all
peoples opposing policies of occupation, exploitation, and displacement
from Turtle Island to Palestine. We call for an immediate end to the
Israeli occupation of all Palestinian territories, and the system of
apartheid that characterizes daily life in Palestine. We denounce
Canada’s complicity in the killing and occupation of the Palestinian
people. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 22.39px; text-align: justify;">We see our struggles for migrant justice and against ongoing
colonization on Turtle Island, as deeply interconnected with the
struggles for freedom in Gaza. We urge all people to stand in solidarity
with the Palestinian people, denounce Canada's complicity in Israeli
apartheid, and support local initiatives for a boycott, divestment and
sanctions. </span><span style="line-height: 22.39px; text-align: justify;">We
demand the right to freedom of movement of the Palestinian people, the
right to stay and the right of return. We envision a world free from
oppression, where all life is valued, and people can move freely in
order to live with justice, dignity, and self-determination.</span></span></span></div>

Urgent Support Needed!<br />
<br />
Federal Court Showdown: Justice for Deepan vs. Citizenship and Immigration Canada!<br />
<br />
Pack the Court house! Bring your bodies and voices to show your support for this crucial moment in Deepan’s case. After over a year of Deepan living in precarious stateless limbo pending deportation, a date has been set for this landmark Federal Court hearing.<br />
<br />
<b>When? THIS MONDAY, June 16th, 2014 Rally: 8:30am. Hearing: 9:30am</b><br />
<b>Where? 301 Wellington St. (Supreme Court Building, West Courtroom). Ottawa, Unceded Algonqiun Terrritory </b><br />
<br />
On June, 5th, the Federal Court of Appeal made a decision to push Deepan’s upcoming Federal Court application to Monday, June 16th.
What does this mean? After months of preparation, Deepan’s legal team will argue that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) have breached Deepan’s constitutional rights by making him stateless. If successful, the Federal Court of Canada will force Citizenship and Immigration Canada to restore Deepan’s citizenship, simultaneously setting a president in other similar cases.<br />
<br />
We need your support! With over 1,000 individuals across multiple borders, countless unions, grassroots groups, civil liberty and non-profit organizations backing<br />
<br />
Deepan and his struggle for justice, let’s pack the courthouse and demonstrate the magnitude of support that exists for him and his struggle for justice!
Can’t come for the full hearing? Show up in the morning at 8:30 for a press release, and opportunity to show & voice your support. Bring signs in support of Deepan!<br />
<br />
Coming from a different city? Contact justicefordeepan@gmail.com or call us at: 613.265.1364 to coordinate rides.
We hope to see you there! Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111964895622132680.post-66411356296450593092014-06-12T11:49:00.002-04:002014-06-13T13:28:44.041-04:00Ottawa Convergence to End Immigration Detention<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="uiGrid _51mz"><tbody>

Over 85,000 people have been detained in immigration jails under Harper's watch. Many of them have been imprisoned indefinitely, with no known release date. Immigration detention tears apart families, taking away migrants' freedom for the crime of being born elsewhere.<br />
<br />
Join us as we march to immigration control headquarters to demand an end to immigration detention, particularly endless detention, max-security incarceration, and an overhaul of the detention review process.<br />

<span style="color: black;">Mutual Accountability Meeting</span></div>

<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black;">1.
A special meeting between Octopus Book Store ("Octopus") and No One Is
Illegal Ottawa (NOII-O) took place in Ottawa on March 24th, 2014, to
discuss issues of accountability and community-building. NOII-O and
Octopus reaffirmed their commitment to social justice and working with
community groups. The meeting addressed concerns on how to create
inclusive community spaces, and how to approach people, groups, and
establishments in regards to accountability. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="color: black;">2.
The meeting welcomed and generated lessons and recommendations for both
NOII-O and Octopus, such as collaborative anti-oppression training;
consultation on a statement of values; and having clear feedback
processes that prioritize accessible language, personal face-to-face
conversations, mental and emotional health, and community mediation
beyond legal systems and the State. There was also a broader discussion
about social media, specifically the challenges and opportunities it
creates in regards to communication, community-building,
confidentiality/privacy, and self-empowerment/autonomy.</span></div>

The meeting appreciated the contributions of everyone involved and
committed to working together in building spaces of justice,
anti-oppression, and inclusion. Octopus and NOII-O strongly encourage
