Our Executive Director, @serifcanada1 , has launched an initiative to extend TS2023 and keep families together. On November 11, he will begin walking from Ottawa to Toronto for families and children.
Guided by children’s best interests and family unity, reflected in Articles 3 and 9 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and sections 3(1)(d) and 25(1) of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, we hope Canada will remain a safe place for these families to call home.

11 Kasım’da Ottawa’daki Parlamento önünden Toronto’daki Ontario Eyalet Meclisi’ne uzanan yaklaşık 500 kilometrelik bir yürüyüşe başlayacağım.
Kanada’nın kasım soğuğunda, yaklaşık 30 gün sürecek zorlu bir yolculuk…
Türkiye ve Suriye’deki depremlerden kurtulup Kanada’da yeni bir hayat kuran, şimdi ise gelecekleri belirsizliğe sürüklenen aileler için yürüyeceğim.
Bu çocuklar burada büyüyor, okula gidiyor, hayaller kuruyor. Bir kez daha hayatlarının altüst olmasını hak etmiyorlar.
Ben adımlarımı atacağım. Siz de bu ailelerin yanında durun.
Basın açıklaması: 11 Kasım, saat 11.20 – Ottawa, Parlamento önü.

Are sanctions helping the people who need support?
Dr. Mark Kersten @MarkKersten urges us to ask for measurable benefits: access to medicine, food and humanitarian aid. His message is to judge pressure by the concrete improvements it can bring to people’s lives.

We thank The Law Foundation of Ontario @LawFoundationOn for funding this project and supporting informed action toward justice.
What changed for the people affected? That is a question worth asking.

Northern Justice Watch retweeted
For survivors of atrocities, manufactured doubt means having to prove their suffering again & again. Scrutiny shifts from those responsible to those who survived. Confusion becomes an excuse for inaction, giving perpetrators more time to evade justice.🌪️😑Consequences compound...
Disinformation does not always need you to believe a lie. Sometimes, making you doubt everything is enough.
Joanne Hodges @hodgesjoanne explains how confusion can discourage people from listening, participating, and taking action.
