CPJ members say: “We’re Better Together!”

While politicians and political leaders are distracting from the real causes of problems such as the housing crisis by blaming immigrants and pitting people against each other, Canadians are coming together to say: we’re better together! 

Update: Let’s tell Mark Carney that We’re Better Together!

In the lead up to World Refugee Day, CPJ members are joining thousands of Canadians who are sending an open letter to the Prime Minister asking him to:

– Ensure Canada welcomes and resettles more, not fewer, refugees;
– Protect fair hearings for those seeking asylum in Canada; and
– Uphold and strengthen Canada’s global refugee leadership in defending human rights and gender equality.

It’s time to come together to make our voices loud, proud and visible to turn the tide on rising anti-refugee and anti-immigrant sentiment. The vast majority of Canadians believe that refugees should have the opportunity to be resettled in Canada, and expect Canada to continue being a humanitarian leader in the world.

Join us ahead of World Refugee Day in calling on our Prime Minister to uphold Canadian values, because we know we’re better and stronger together.

CPJ is partnering with the Canadian Council for Refugees and their campaign, We’re Better Together, to unify our voices and tell the public and our elected officials, that we as Canadians are proud to welcome newcomers.  

We want to work towards a Canada that includes safety and flourishing for all people. Whether we were born in Canada or elsewhere in the world, we all want what’s best for our families. Here in Canada, we need to commit to treating others the way we want to be treated so that everyone can be safe and flourish; everyone deserves the support they need to thrive. Our Canada includes refugees and migrants.
