No One Is Illegal (Toronto) is a grassroots group of migrants and
allies who fight for the rights of all to live with dignity and
respect. We believe that granting citizenship to a privileged few is
part of a racist immigration and border policy designed to exploit and
marginalize migrants. We work to oppose these policies, as well as the
international economic and environmental policies that create the
conditions of poverty and war that force migration. We work to support
and build alliances with Indigenous peoples in their fight against
colonialism, displacement and the ongoing occupation of their land.
