Today the governing collective of the FMS sent an Open Letter to the Ministers of Public Safety, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, and Health in support of the demands of the migrants detained at the Immigration Detention Centre in Laval, Quebec who are currently on hunger strike. It is imperative to put pressure on the Canadian government to release detained migrants on both health and safety and human rights grounds. Please share this statement widely in your networks, and lend your support to this movement with other statements and/or hashtag photos on social media if you can and are willing.
Wishing you all health andcare in this trying time.

The Feminist Media Studio is located on the unceded lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation. We seek to stand in solidarity with Indigenous demands for land restitution and reparations.
Our work—committed to intersectional and anti-colonial feminist praxis—actively engages and names the predicament of doing feminism on stolen land. We acknowledge that territorial acknowledgement is insufficient to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities.
Our anti-colonial and decolonial efforts articulated in our Lab Values center resisting extraction in all its facets, de-centering feminist canons, valuing methodologies that oppose white supremacy, and building good relations with human and more-than-humans.
