Mothers’ Day Against Borders

When: Sunday, 14 May 2017, 2pm
Where: Jarry Parc (metro Castelnau), near the Gazebo
What: On Mothers’ Day, the Non Status Women’s Collective of Montreal is hosting a picnic to celebrate the struggles of courageous mothers who have crossed and defied borders for a better future for themselves and for their children. Some have spoken out publicly; many more struggle in the shadows to mother without status, to end/avoid separation from their children, to get their children a life of dignity, a better life.
* Delicious, free food!
* Art workshops, info-table, music, kids’ activities!
* Fun & solidarity!
~If you are interested in organizing an art/craft workshop, game, sport, kids’ activity for the picnic, please get in touch at femmes.sans.statuts@gmail.com.
~Guests are invited to come with a small toast to celebrate the courage and strength of mothers against the violence of borders: a poem, a testimony, song.
