Sherbrooke to march against racism this Saturday

This Saturday, downtown Sherbrooke will be host to what organizers hope will be a large-scale demonstration in support and solidarity with migrant people around the world. The demonstration, entitled “Ensemble avec les personnes migrantes contre le racisme” or, “Together with migrant people against racism” is rallied around a call to action that is available to read in English, French, and Spanish at https://contreleracisme.wixsite.com/collectif/. “The present context bears the great myth that the migrants are dangerous people, which legitimizes racism against them, as well as against all those who are different and live at the crossroads of oppressions due to their looks, beliefs, gender, gender identity, social class, or their skills,” the call to action states. “The Collective opposes false truths and calls all of us to wake up.” See full story in the Friday, Dec. 14 edition of The Record.
