What is the Anti-Terror Bill?

What is the Anti-Terror Bill?

Caregiver Connections Education & Support Organization (CCESO) invites you to a free webinar on Saturday, June 27, 2020 at 8:00 PM EST (5:00 PM PST).

The title of the "Anti-Terror Bill" alone does not tell us what it really means. This is why we made an effort to invite the prominent Filipino Human Rights lawyer, educator, and advocate, Atty. Jose Manuel "Chel" Icasiano Diokno, J.D. to discuss it with us.

He serves as chairman of the Free Legal Assistance Group (FLAG) and the founding dean of the De La Salle University College of Law. He also served as special counsel of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee.

We are hoping that you would join us in our attempt to understand thoroughly the underlying effects and consequences of this fundamental issue in the lives of our friends and family back home.

To RSVP: please contact Marlyn or Juli

CARE WORK STORIES: DIGITAL EDITION
SUNDAY JUNE 21, 2020
2:00 PM - 3:15 PM EST


A discussion with Filipino Care Workers and allies to explore their long history fighting for (and winning) human rights in Canada. Register online at https://rb.gy/nsujtc

Migrant Care Workers are more than the "care" they provide to children, the elderly and our most vulnerable family members. Their stories are complex and as varied as the people who live them - past and present.

Kwentong Bayan Collective hosts a discussion with Filipino Care Workers and allies to explore their long history fighting for (and winning) human rights in Canada. We will learn about the recent movement that boldly calls for "Full Immigration Status for All".

We will meet artists who support migrant communities to tell their stories. And listen to the personal stories of Migrant Care Workers whose labour is currently keeping communities safe during COVID-19.

Information Session on the Changes to the Caregiver Program

CAREGIVERS AT KANILANG MGA PAMILYA: NOON, NGAYON AT... BUKAS?
Isang talakayan at legal info session tungkol sa Caregiver Program

Sabado, ika-26 ng Mayo 2018
1:00-4:00 p.m.

OPSEU, 31 Wellesley St. East
(maaaring lakarin mula sa Wellesley station)

Sa mga nakaraang taon, maraming naging pagbabago sa Caregiver Program (dating Live-in Caregiver Program) ng Canada. Para sa maraming caregiver, nagiging sanhi ito ng kalituhan o kumplikasyon sa pagtatrabaho o pagsasaayos ng mga papel/status sa Canada. Kasabay pa nito, sa kabila ng mga pagbabago sa programa, patuloy ang mga problema kaugnay nito tulad ng pagkakahiwalay ng mga caregiver sa kanilang mga pamilya, at kawalan ng katiyakan sa kanilang kinabukasan.

Inaanyayahan ng GABRIELA-Ontario ang mga caregiver at iba pang kababayan nating nais matuto tungkol sa isyung ito sa isang talakayan. Magbabahagi ng impormasyon sina:

Mithi Esguerra - GABRIELA-Ontario
Martha Ocampo - Caregiver Connections Education and Support Organization
Dr. Jessica Ticar, PhD - Youth & Family Counsellor
at Atty. Maria Deanna P. Santos - Filipino-Canadian Immigration Lawyer
