Main Blog Moved to Kersplebedeb.com!

Since March 2013, the main Kersplebedeb website has been migrated to a primarily wordpress format.

What this means in practical terms is that everything you are used to seeing on Sketchy Thoughts is now being posted straight to Kersplebedeb and simply being automatically mirrored here. So in general, you will probably have a better reading/viewing experience if you head over to Kersplebedeb.

For those who prefer the Sketchy Thoughts blogger layout for whatever reason, this page will continue to be automatically updated whenever something is posted to Kersplebedeb, for at least the short-term future. However, as additional functionality is added to the Kersplebedeb site via wordpress, the Sketchy Thoughts page will probably begin to show its age more and more.

IGD: Guide to Charlottesville Solidarity Actions Around the World

In solidarity with our friends at CrimethInc.

On August 12, a fascist murdered one person and injured dozens more by driving a vehicle into a crowd of anti-racist protestors in Charlottesville, Virginia. Fascists had been calling for violence in advance; they made it very clear that this would happen. We are calling for solidarity actions to take place around the country in response—to support the bereaved, to encourage those who courageously stood up to fascist murderers, to reach out to our communities about this situation, and to show that we will not stand for this. Here, you can find a list of solidarity demonstrations and a PDF of a flier you can print and distribute to inform others about this situation.

To add your event, email: info [at] itsgoingdown [dot] org and send updates about solidarity demonstrations to us via @crimethinc or rollingthunder@crimethinc.com.

On August 12, an alt-right fascist murdered a person and injured dozens more by driving a vehicle into a crowd of anti-racist protestors in Charlottesville, Virginia. We are calling for solidarity actions to take place around the country to respond to this.

If we allow the alt-right and neo-Nazis to organize in our communities, the consequences will be fatal. Charlottesville is just the beginning. If the alt-right can get away with murder there, none of us will be safe. We have to stand up to white supremacists, we have to shut down and chase out these bigots every time they try to organize, or else they will kill more people.

You are a target. These bigots target people of color, women, Muslims, Jews, LGBTQ people, immigrants, radicals, liberals, and anyone who doesn’t agree with them—not just with words, but with violence. Emboldened by Trump’s election, alt-right and fascist bigots have already shot and wounded protestors against racism in Minneapolis and Seattle, stabbed bystanders to death in Portland for intervening against Islamophobia, and sowed hatred and discord across the country. We are betraying our friends and neighbors if we don’t take a stand.

The police will not protect us. They murder over a thousand people every year in this country, and infiltrate and attack our demonstrations when we stand up against alt-right terror. We have to organize to defend ourselves.

Racists and Fascists: No Pasaran!

Individuals with far-right, racist, anti-immigrant organizations, particularly Soldiers of Odin and La Meute, are organizing an anti-immigrant demonstration in the vicinity of the Olympic Stadium this Sunday as well. These racist, far-right groups deserve no platform to express their hatred. We call on anti-fascists and anti-racists from all over Montreal and Quebec in general to mobilize in massive numbers for our demonstration, and to keep the racists far away from the Olympic Stadium complex.

[English below] ——-

Bienvenue aux migrants et aux réfugiés!

Par cette manifestation nous démontrerons notre support et notre solidarité envers l’arrivée récente de réfugiés avec un message clair: Bienvenue aux migrants et aux réfugiés! Nous encourageons la participation massive de tout les gens qui supportent la justice pour les migrants. Une partie du complexe du stade olympique de Montréal est utilisée comme refuge temporaire pour les réfugiés arrivés récemment, les migrants haïtiens en particulier. Plus que jamais, il est important de partager notre message collectif de bienvenue et de support.

Nous manifestons aussi pour rejeter le narratif raciste qui mets en contraste les migrants avec les itinérants et les pauvres qui demeurent déjà au Québec. Nous lançons un appel pour faire un lien entre les luttes de tout les opprimés, pauvres et de classe ouvrière contre les riches et privilégiés. Au lieu de blamer les migrants d’avoir fait des choix valides, nous mettons nos énergies à nous opposer aux systèmes d’oppression, spécifiquement les systèmes coloniaux, corporatifs et capitalistes.

Nous militons pour bâtir une Cité sans frontières : pour la création d’une communauté qui rejette un système engendant la pauvreté et l’angoisse chez les immigrant(e)s et les réfugié(e)s, mais aussi chez les autres Montréalais(e)s confronté(e)s aux mêmes réalités. Nous luttons et nous organisons pour un monde sans frontières, un monde de justice et de dignité pour tous et toutes!

Nos revendications

OUVREZ LES FRONTIÈRES ! Permettez l’entrée à tous.tes migrants qui tentent de s’échapper de la pauvreté, d’interdictions de vol et de voyage, et d’attaques contre leur intégrité en tant qu’être humains. Toutes personnes ont le droit de se déplacer, le droit de rester, et le droit de résister aux déplacements forcés.

ANNULEZ L’ENTENTE DES TIERS PAYS SÛRS ! Les États-Unis ne sont pas un pays sûr, et le maintien de cette entente signifie que les réfugiés prospectif.ves quittant les ÉU doivent traverser irrégulièrement vers le Canada, subissant souvent de graves blessures et risquant la mort.

RÉGULARISEZ LE STATUT DE TOUS.TES IMMIGRANTS SANS PAPIERS AU CANADA ! Le Canada comprend également une énorme population d’immigrants sans statut légal – au moins 500,000 personnes habitent sans statut régulier dans le pays. Le Canada doit mettre en place un programme de régularisation compréhensif, inclusif, et continu.

Racistes et fascistes: No Pasaran!

Des individus de groupes d’extreme-droite, racistes et anti-immigrants, en particuliers Soldiers of Odin et La Meute, organisent eux aussi une manifestation (anti-immigrante) dans les parage du stade olympique ce dimanche. Ces racistes et groupes d’extreme-droite n’ont droit à aucune plate-forme pour exprimer leur haine.

Voici leur événement raciste: http://ift.tt/2v37sBe

Pourquoi les gens traversent-ils irrégulièrement vers le Canada ?

Les réfugiés ont traversé irrégulièrement à Roxham Road et à d’autres frontières québécoises et canadiennes en grand nombre depuis la mise en place de l’entente honteuse des Tiers pays sûrs entre le Canada et les États-Unis en 2004. Cette entente empêche les migrants de demander un statut légal de réfugié. e s’ils traversent des États-Unis vers le Canada d’après une frontière régulière. Or, les réfugiés peuvent encore demander ce statut légal s’ils traversent via une frontière « irrégulière » comme Roxham Road, qui s’agit d’un endroit relativement sécuritaire pour traverser.

Récemment, nous observons une augmentation marquée du nombre de personnes traversant de façon irrégulière des États-Unis vers le Canada en raison de la rhétorique et des politiques de l’administration Trump, qui incluent interdictions de voyage et attaques contre l’intégrité de groupes entiers, tels que les musulmans, les Arabes, et les Mexicains. Plus récemment, l’administration Trump a annoncé que le statut temporaire de plus de 50,000 migrants haitiens leur serait potentiellement enlevé, beaucoup d’haitiens ont migré vers le Canada de manière irrégulière.

Ceci se déroule dans un contexte plus large, dans lequel des pays comme le Canada et les États-Unis sont responsables d’une importante dégradation économique et sociale dans des pays du Moyen-Orient, d’Amérique latine, des Caraïbes, d’Afrique et d’Asie, et cherchent pourtant à limiter sévèrement la capacité migratoire de gens originaires de ces pays .

L’entente des Tiers pays sûrs force les réfugiés prospectifs à traverser de façon non sécuritaire ou même dangereuse. En mai 2017, Mavis Otuteye, une candidate réfugiée de 57 ans originaire du Ghana, fut retrouvée morte, exposée aux éléments, au sud de la frontière manitobaine. Elle est morte en tentant de traverser au Manitoba pour retrouver sa fille. En hiver, plusieurs autres réfugiés ont perdu des membres à la gelure ou risqué la mort par hypothermie.

Des groupes racistes et anti-immigrants comme Soldiers of Odin, Storm Alliance et La Meute démonisent et blâment les réfugiés. Au contraire, nous appuyons et saluons les réfugiés qui traversent vers le Canada, et nous soutenons le droit de tous à immigrer en toute sécurité.

Déclaration anticoloniale

Solidarité sans frontières reconnaît que nous sommes sur un territoire traditionnel des Kanien’kehá:ka. Les Kanien’kehá:ka sont les gardiens de la Porte de l’Est de la Confédération Haudenosaunee. L’île appelée « Montréal » est nommée Tiotia:ke dans la langue des Kanien’kehá:ka, et elle a historiquement été un lieu de rencontre pour d’autres nations autochtones. Nous appuyons l’autodétermination et la souveraineté autochtones et cherchons activement à approfondir notre compréhension collective des luttes autochtones.

Le Canada s’est construit sur le vol des territoires autochtones ainsi que sur le déplacement et le génocide toujours en cours des peuples autochtones. Ses frontières ont été établies par des guerres coloniales pour en faire bénéficier les colonisateurs. Cette reconnaissance se situe au coeur de notre rejet des frontières de l’État canadien et de ses déportations, détentions et statuts à plusieurs niveaux créés par ses lois sur l’immigration. Nous rejetons la légitimité de l’État canadien puisqu’il incarne ces structures, et c’est pourquoi nous refusons de collaborer avec l’État tout comme avec ses agents frontaliers et ses policiers. ——-

Nous encourageons les organisations d’endosser et de partager cet appel et à mobiliser leur communauté et contacts.

Welcome Migrants and Refugees!

This demonstration will express support and solidarity with recent refugee arrivals, with the clear message: Welcome Migrants and Refugees! We encourage the massive participation of all who support migrant justice. A part of Montreal’s Olympic Stadium complex is now being used as a temporary shelter for recent refugee arrivals, particularly Haitian migrants. More than ever, it’s important to share our collective message of welcome and support.

We also demonstrate to reject the racist discourse that contrasts migrants with the homeless and poor already living in Quebec. We call for a linking of the struggles of all oppressed, poor and working class people against the rich and privileged. Instead of blaming migrants for exercising valid choices, we focus on opposing and resisting systems of oppression, specifically colonial, corporate, capitalism.

We campaign to build a Solidarity City, the creation of a community that rejects a system that engenders poverty and anguish, not solely for immigrants and refugees, but also for other Montrealers confronting these same realities. We support open borders and the free movement of people seeking justice and dignity, meaning freedom to move, freedom to return, and the freedom to stay.

Our Demands

OPEN THE BORDERS! Allow access to all migrants fleeing poverty, travel bans, raids and other attacks on their integrity as human beings. All human beings have the right to move, the right to remain, and the right to resist forced displacement.

CANCEL THE SAFE THIRD COUNTRY AGREEMENT! The USA is not a safe third country, and maintaining this agreement means that refugees leaving the USA need to enter Canada irregularly, which results in serious injuries, and will lead to more deaths.

REGULARIZE ALL UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE IN CANADA! Canada too has a significant undocumented population, with at least 500,000 people living without regular status. Canada must implement a comprehensive, inclusive and ongoing regularization program.

Racists and Fascists: No Pasaran!

Individuals with far-right, racist, anti-immigrant organizations, particularly Soldiers of Odin and La Meute, are organizing an anti-immigrant demonstration in the vicinity of the Olympic Stadium this Sunday as well. These racist, far-right groups deserve no platform to express their hatred.

We call on anti-fascists and anti-racists from all over Montreal and Quebec in general to mobilize in massive numbers for our demonstration, and to keep the racists far away from the Olympic Stadium complex. Here is the facebook event for the racist anti-immigrant demo: http://ift.tt/2v37sBe

Why are people crossing irregularly into Canada?

Refugees have crossed irregularly at Roxham Road, near Hemmingford and other border crossings across Quebec and Canada in larger numbers ever since the shameful Safe Third Country Agreement between Canada and the USA was implemented in 2004. This agreement prevents migrants from making refugee claims if they come to Canada from the USA at a regular border crossings. However, refugees can make claims if they make an “irregular” crossing at any other point at the border, such as at Roxham Road, which is a relatively convenient and safe place to cross.

There has been a marked increase in irregular crossings into Canada by asylum seekers currently in the USA due to the rhetoric and policies of the Trump administration, which includes attempted travel bans and attacks on the integrity of entire groups, such as Muslims, Arabs and Mexicans. More recently, with the Trump administration indicating that the temporary status to close to 50,000 Haitian migrants might be removed, many Haitians have been migrating to Canada via irregular crossings.

This is in a broader context, in which states like Canada and the United States are responsible for economic and social devastation in countries throughout the Middle East, Latin America, Caribbean, Africa, and Asia, and yet seek to limit who from those countries can live here.

The Safe Third Country agreement forces refugees to make often dangerous border crossings. In May, a refugee claimant from Ghana, Mavis Otuteye, 57, was found dead due to exposure south of the Manitoba border, where she had travelled to try to reunite with her daughter. During the winter months, other refugee claimants lost limbs due to frostbite, or risked death due to hypothermia.

Racist anti-immigrant groups like Soldiers of Odin, Storm Alliance and La Meute demonize and blame refugees. In contrast, we support and commend refugees who cross into Canada, and we express our welcome and solidarity.

Anti-Colonial Statement

Solidarity Across Borders acknowledges that we are on the traditional territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka. The Kanien’kehá:ka are the keepers of the Eastern Door of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The island called “Montreal” is known as Tiotia:ke in the language of the Kanien’kehá:ka, and it has historically been a meeting place for other Indigenous nations. We actively support Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination, and undertake to deepen our collective understanding of Indigenous struggles.

At its foundation, Canada is based on the theft of Indigenous lands, and the ongoing genocide and displacement of Indigenous peoples. Its borders were established by colonial wars, to benefit colonizers. This recognition lies at the heart of our rejection of the Canadian state’s borders and the system of multi-tiered status, deportation and detention created by its immigration laws. We reject the legitimacy of the Canadian state as the embodiment of those structures. For this reason, we refuse to collaborate with the state, including police or border agents. ——-
