Text: In the 1980s, U.S. imperialism helped lead to brutal conflicts in Central America. Millions of people were disappeared or killed and an unknown number fled. The government wouldn’t grant refugee status to the migrants because it refused to acknowledge the existence of the atrocities. In response, over 70,000 people opened their homes, meeting places, churches, synagogues and Quaker meeting houses to hide and support the war victims. Between 200,000 and 300,000 people were able to evade deportation to near certain death because of this movement. Today, there are many people in Canada and the U.S. who rely on sanctuary to escape the devastation of imperialism. These countries refuse to accept people based on their own oppressive military and economic agendas. Make every home, every street, every city a sanctuary.
