immigration status

Thousands of migrant student workers face deportation if work permits are not made renewable immediately. **Tomorrow, Nov. 24, 2020,** students from Migrant Students United are holding a Day of Action to demand: *renewable work permits, real access to PR, lower tuition & universal services, all work to be valued, family unity, and status for all*. Actions include a petition, rally (Covid-safe), calling the Immigration Minister, and a TweetStorm. Grassroots student organizers of OrganizeUW stand in solidarity with the students of MSU. Please consider taking action to support international and migrant students, who are a vital part of our community at UW and in Canada as a whole.

International students make up nearly half of graduate students yet they are often neglected when the university crafts policy. This is the second post in the series by our international student sub-committee, in which they considers how a union can help ensure international student issues get the attention they deserve.
