Sinhue Garcia, a migrant farmworker from Mexico, was killed while riding his bicycle in rural Niagara-on-the-Lake.

He is not the first. At least 7 migrant farmworkers have been killed or seriously injured on Niagara roads in recent years.

Migrant workers keep Niagara’s farms, greenhouses, wineries, restaurants, and food system running. They deserve safe transportation, safer roads, emergency support, and permanent resident status so they can speak up without fear.

Take action now.

Are you worried about being stopped by immigration officials, or know someone who is? You are not alone.

Together with Workers’ Action Centre , we created a free guide: Stay Informed: Immigration Stops, Detention and Deportation. It can help undocumented migrants and people at risk of losing their status understand their rights, prepare for interactions with border enforcement, and make a safety plan.

Join our free, confidential, in-person workshops to learn about your options, get your questions answered, and connect with others in your community.

🦋 Upcoming workshops (in Spanish):

Teresa, a migrant care worker, arrived in Canada seven years ago said - “While I am raising someone else’s child, my own family is far away. I left behind people I love. I care for families’ children while mine remain in the Philippines,” she said. “I could not visit them. I could not bring them here. For every birthday, every emergency, I was separated by this system. I made that sacrifice because I believed Canada was the place for me, that my work would be seen, that I would count for something.” Status for All Now!
