We need regularization now!

[Naujawan Support Network @NSNPeel]

Globe & Mail on Brampton’s 24/7 protest:
Tens of thousands of international students who spent years finding a pathway to permanent residency are out of options

"But Dr. Venkatesh, the law professor at the University of Windsor, believes that none of those changes will fix the current situation of existing PGWP holders with expiring permits, and no shot at permanent residency.

“We wanted these people in when we were struggling with a labour shortage. Now we are reneging on our promise of a pathway to PR and chasing them out. The right thing to do is to grant them PR status,” she said."

"Permanent resident status is the mechanism through which all other rights are accessed. A society where millions are temporary and exploitable hurts us all."

Swipe to read @hussansk explain why this moment is so crucial. #StatusForAll

[Labour for Palestine @PalestineLabour]

Labour for Palestine calls on the @cupenat National Executive Board to reverse its call for @CUPEOntario President Fred Hahn’s resignation and urges them, and others within the labour movement, not to cave to zionist pressure. #StandWithFredHahn https://t.co/68s9lTPFFx

Fact check: not a first for union representation.

Food delivery workers have been unionising, organising, and campaigning for years, most visibly with the @IWGBunion

[Jennifer @PalimpsestJenn]

App employers continue to find new ways to offset the cost of business onto workers.

[Earla @earlwithana]

Uber is not updating drivers with up to date licenses issue by the city and says don't worry that the document is expired, it was renewed and you will be ok. NOT $240 ticket later. Mine is expired in app!

Food delivery strikes tonight from 1700-2200.

Get yourself hyped by watching this video from the Valentines strike where workers delivered some LOVE to @Deliveroo CEO Will Shu’s house. Find your local picket tonight & show some support 🔥❤️✊

[Shaf Hussain @ShafHussain810]

At the time of the nationwide 2/2/24 strike. .@Deliveroo had sent correspondence to its restaurant partners (it's "marketplace") warning them of the disruption. As well as encouraging them to call the police to break picket lines: calling it loitering & anti-social behaviour.

[Veena Dubal @veenadubal]

Food delivery workers controlled by app can organize a meaningful work stoppage! I am so sick of hearing people talk about how hard it is to organize this workforce.

[Naujawan Support Network @NSNPeel]

Our governments have always been well aware that their policies and lack of oversight in effect treat international students as cash cows existing simply to “make up for budget deficits” — not as humans with a right to dignity in our workplaces, schools, and homes.

[Migrant Workers Alliance for Change @MWACCanada]

You are being led to believe that an influx of immigrants outpacing the construction of homes is causing the crisis.

But that’s not true. The real issue is that investors and builders are building fewer homes to keep prices high.

Read our explainer.

[Toronto4Palestine @Toronto4P]

Nader & Levant community alarmed as @UberEats switched their restaurant from "Palestinian cuisine" to "Israeli cuisine” in attempts to erase the Palestinian identity. Now UberEats pledges to showcase Palestinian restaurants globally. Our voices matter! Let it be a lesson to all.

[Gig Workers United @GigWorkersUnite]

What Laura is doing is sharing Uber's top three lies. Why are thousands of workers around the world organizing? It's because uber's a terrible company that doesn't care about the people working hard to make them money or the communities they operate in. Ignore Laura's gaslighting

ANNOUNCING: Toronto Palestine Solidarity Community Defence Fund.

This fund will support EVERYONE criminalized for protest and direct action in solidarity with Palestine in Toronto, including the recent Giller & Indigo arrests.

Please share and donate.

[hussan @hussansk]

This is how the police acts against those it deems criminal. Doors knocked down, people traumatized. It doesn't even matter that much that the person they were looking for wasn't there; or that the 'crime' here is postering. It is that the function of the police is to terrorize.

[The Breach @TheBreachMedia]

Toronto police conducted pre-dawn raids on activists who postered Indigo—a major operation that a policing expert says is usually used for “gun and drug” busts.

@Martin_Lukacs reports the pursuit of hate crime charges is an attack on Palestine solidarity.

[Gig Workers United @GigWorkersUnite]

The workers united, will never be defeated! Workers at the OLRB to speak up that we are not happy with our working conditions. The thing that scares Uber the most is worker power. Gig workers and Posties together under @cupw is the worst nightmare of these apps. #EnoughIsEnough
