Media for social change

During the month of March 2008, the Accommodate This! campaign organised a series of actions to denounce the racism and sexism at the roots of the “reasonable accommodation” debate and the Bouchard Taylor Commission, and to focus on the real issues faced by racialized and migrant communities in Montreal: unjust immigration laws, deportations, detentions, surveillance and harassment, exploitation at work, poverty, criminalization, sexism, police brutality, racial profiling, precarity etc.

The Accommodate This! poster is a key part of the "Accommodate This! report ", which consists of a collection of testimonies, articles, analysis, letters, discussions, narratives and more, recording the voices of migrant and racialized communities speaking out against racism, sexism and all forms of marginalization. Counter to the Bouchard Taylor report, it goes beyond the flawed and restrictive "debate" on reasonable accommodation to talk about the real issues that affect our communities.
