The Long Struggle for Status
From: Essential Work Disposable Workers
$1.60
This chapter is an effort to convey the urgency of permanent status for migrants. The chapter examines the campaigns of self-organized migrants who have constructed communities of struggle that play a central role in the renewed momentum for full regularization, which intensified during the covid-19 pandemic. The moment we are witnessing now, especially in Canada, with a move to implement a broader regularization program, is directly due to long-term migrant organizing. The struggles of migrants for full regularization is about challenging the foundations of exploitation and how class is shaped.
