We express our full support for migrant self-organization and defend all the
demands of today's protest. In it, we recognize the same need for a society inwhich everyone would have the same opportunities to fully realize theirpotential, which we also have. The need for a society where the vulnerable amongus are protected as individuals and as communities. For a society in which theconditions of work, life, association and political and other organization wouldnot be subordinated to the interests of capital and the state, its loyal supportand tools. ---- Some of the announced changes to the Aliens Act will indeed meana direct improvement in living conditions for many of us. We would like to pointout, however, that everything shows that, unfortunately, these changes stemprimarily from the local capital's need for fresh labor, and not from theauthorities' decision to abandon the existing regime of dehumanization of peoplewho seek their future and protection here. from violence and poverty. Thisobservation directly follows from the fact that the central goal of the announcedchanges is clearly to facilitate the employment of workers from the point of viewof 'employers', but not to enable a decent life for the same workers.We refuse to reduce people, our neighbors, friends, comrades, colleagues,colleagues exclusively to labor providers. We reject the idea that people arewelcome exclusively as a workforce, even with the unwritten condition that theydo not organize in the workplace to protect their rights. We reject the idea thatpeople are just human resources to be managed, controlled, planned, moved andexploited and - if the calculations show - deported. We are people who have ourown needs, wants and entertainment. We are people who have families, friends,small and big hardships, small and big dreams. Each of us is human and most of usare workers and we all deserve equal treatment that also takes into account anyspecial vulnerabilities and needs. We are not commodities that can be bought andsold to the best bidder, and we are not robots that can be turned on and offbased on the current market needs.The flood of citizenship, visa, residence, work and other statuses that thegovernment establishes with its administrative and repressive apparatus servesabove all to break up male and female workers into groups of people withsupposedly different particular interests. But that's not true. Those of us whoproduce all the social wealth in this society have common interests. Regardlessof our status-undocumented migrants, workers with employer-linked work permits,asylum seekers, precarious workers, and others-we share a common need to livefree of racism, exploitation, and violence. We share the understanding that manyof us are forced to work in the most exploitative conditions, that many of us areseparated from our families for long periods of time, that we are harassed,criminalized, attacked just because it does not suit racist structures,officials. or the people among us ideas about how it should look and live.We are also united by the understanding that we can only dismantle this system ofmodern slavery together. That what strengthens self-organization of migrants alsostrengthens self-organization in the workplace. That what strengthens the fightagainst racism also strengthens the rejection of wars and militarism. That whatstrengthens the rights of migrant workers simultaneously strengthens the rightsof all workers.We reject divisions into different categories of workers and workers. Rights mustbe equal for all, we must improve working conditions for all. Together we opposedeportations, violence and dehumanization and build a society of diversity andresistance against the politics of separation and exploitation. Here we are. Thisis where we fight.LET'S STOP DEHUMANIZATION!EQUAL RIGHTS AND THEIR EXPANSION FOR ALL!FOR DIGNITY AND LIFE!Anarchist initiative LjubljanaMarch 28, 2023https://www.facebook.com/a.infoshop/posts/pfbid0oSnnsaMUZbwtMmwoovYy6TSbjfZLjbMWWB3FP3Xn9Kc8BeZjc5YpriCC5HVUf338l_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
