Sunday December 9 from 5-7 pm. Lore Krill Co-op. 65 West Cordova (corner, just east of Cambie). Snacks served. Childcare on-site. Wheelchair accessible.
Given a clear and keen interest to continue meeting and in continuing to work together on building and organizing a more effective and visible anti-racist movement, we are organizing our third meeting on racism and anti-racist organizing.
To date, there have been two community forums and discussions on racism, racial violence, systemic racism, and anti-racism. Over 100 people total have participated in both community meetings. Several community groups have given presentations and updates on current struggles against racism, others have offered historical perspectives on anti-racist organizing, while other individuals have shared personal experiences of racism.

URGENT SUPPORT FOR LAIBAR SINGH, LAIBAR RECEIVES DEPORTATION ORDER FOR INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS DAY
RALLY SUNDAY DECEMBER 2ND. 2 PM AT CITIZENSHIP OFFICE IN SURREY 13450 102nd Avenue Surrey (between 134th and 135th Street), 1 block from Surrey Central Skytrain Station
Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) has informed Mr. Laibar Singh that he will be deported on Monday December 10th- ironically International Human Rights Day- after refusing his humanitarian and compassionate claim. It is outrageous that the Canadian government continues to push for the deportation of a paralyzed man who has received an unbelievable amount of support from the community and people all across Canada.

Sunday November 11 from 6-8 pm. Organizing Centre for Social and Economic Justice. 672 E. Broadway (corner Fraser). Wheelchair accessible. Snacks and childcare provided.
On October 16, NOII hosted an emergency community forum on racism, immigrants, and immigration in response to increasing racial violence against racialized immigrants. Over 50-60 people participated in the community meeting and discussion. Several community groups gave presentations and updates on current struggles against racism, others offered historical perspectives on anti-racist organizing, while others shared personal experiences of racism. A majority of those in attendance were interested in continuing to work together on building and organizing a more effective and visible anti-racist movement, particularly one connected to understanding and fighting racial violence, giving voice to experiences of racism, as well as resisting structural racism as it manifests itself through colonization of indigenous lands, anti-immigrant measures, militarization and occupation globally, and capitalist neoliberal economic policies.
