Job Posting: Outreach Workers, Migrant Students United
Migrant Workers Alliance for Change (MWAC) is a member-led organization that is building racialized, low-waged, worker power to win migrant justice. Our areas of focus include current and former international students in low-waged work through our Migrant Students United campaign (MSU).
We are seeking two outreach workers to join the MSU team. Outreach workers will make contact with migrant student workers in the Greater Toronto Area, and bring them into the MSU campaign so they can be part of winning changes to immigration and labour policy.
We are no longer accepting applications for this position.
Sigamos luchando por justicia migratoria durante las elecciones federales
El 20 de septiembre, los ciudadanos canadienses votarán por representantes. Estos representantes, llamados miembros del Parlamento, decidirán las leyes que impactarán la vida de 1.6 MILLONES de migrantes como nosotros.
Trabajadores agrícolas migrantes, trabajadores cuidadores, trabajadores estudiantes, refugiados y las personas indocumentadas no pueden votar el 20 de septiembre. Pero hay muchas cosas que podemos y debemos hacer.
Desde ahora hasta el 20 de septiembre, los canadienses están debatiendo el futuro del país. La Red de Derechos de l@s Migrantes cree que esta es una oportunidad para que los migrantes elevemos nuestra demanda de Estatus Migratorio Completo y Permanente para Tod@s.

No importa quién gane el 20 de septiembre, nuestro trabajo sigue siendo el mismo. Tenemos que conseguir que la mayor cantidad posible de trabajadores agrícolas migrantes se unan como una sola fuerza para que nadie pueda tratarnos injustamente. ¡Unid@s somos más fuertes!
Raise your voice for migrant rights during this federal election
On September 20, Canadian citizens will vote for representatives. These representatives, called Members of Parliament, will decide laws that impact the lives of 1.6 million migrants like us.
Migrant farmworkers, care workers, students, refugees and undocumented people cannot vote on September 20th. But there are a lot of things we can do and should do.
Between now and September 20th, Canadians are debating the future of this country. This is why now is an opportunity for migrants to raise our demand for full and permanent immigration status for all.
The Migrant Rights Network is organizing actions you can join:
- Click here to send an email to all political parties right now. You can add your own story or comments about why fairness is important to you.
- It’s important to get Canadians to push politicians to support migrant rights. Click here and we will send you flyers and posters that you tape up on poles or outside election areas, or give information to your neighbours.
- Want to put up posters and talk to neighbours as a group? Join Migrant Rights Network actions if you are nearby:
- ST. CATHARINES: Sunday, September 5th, Skyzone plaza on Ontario St. The politician in this seat is Chris Bittle, a Liberal. For many years farmworkers have been going to him (check out these photos).
- TORONTO: Sunday, September 12th, 12pm at Eglinton Park (Eglinton Ave W and Lascelles Blvd). The politician in this seat is Marco Mendicino, the Minister of Immigration. Look at the last time we did an action there.
- BRAMPTON: Sunday, September 12th, 4pm at Brampton Public Library, Four Corners Branch (Queen St. E and Main St. S). The politician in this seat is Sonia Sidhu, a Liberal.
No matter who wins on September 20th, our job stays the same. We have to get as many migrant care workers as possible to unite together as one organization so that no one can treat us unfairly. Together, we will win!
