  • Endorsed of a statement by Migrant Workers Alliance for Change asserting the importance of granting protest rights and protections for non-citizens living in Canada.
  • Letter asking government to accept the Senate’s amendments to Bill S-2, An Act to amend the Indian Act, and to pass the Bill without further amendment or delay and to treat the Technical Advisory Note issued by the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (EMRIP) as authoritative guidance in this matter.
  • Letter urging Prime Minister to stop the authoritarian laws and practices of the legislative agenda as of late, which has opted for open-ended executive powers operating with little to no parliamentary and judicial scrutiny, rejected targeted evidence-based law-making, eroded core due process protections, and advanced majoritarian measures targeting migrants and refugees, racialized communities, and political dissenters
  • Letter condemning the deployment of CBSA by Calgary Police to a protest about changes to Canada's international student program as it violates people's fundamental right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.
  • Joint statement denouncing the adoption of Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act due to the risk of peaceful protesters being criminalized through this new legislation and urging the close monitoring of the bill’s implementation by law enforcement.
  • Letter urging Officials to uphold their obligations and commitments by meaningfully implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN Declaration), BC’s own Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, and Interpretation Act.
