Ngen Youth Centre, Community Coalition Against Racism and Hamilton Sanctuary City Coalition

Hamilton Sanctuary City Coalition: Farai Chigogora, 21, who has lived in Hamilton as a permanent resident since the age of 14, is set to be deported on Jan. 13. , according to CBC. Supporters from Ngen Youth Centre, Community Coalition Against Racism, Black Brown and Red Lives Matter, The Hamilton Sanctuary City Coalition, No One is Illegal Toronto, as well as friends and family of Chigogora spoke at a community meeting at NGen Youth Centre in Hamilton on Friday, where around 35 people attended. Several community groups rallying to prevent a young Hamilton man from being deported to Zimbabwe say he is scheduled to leave Canada due to a justice system that fails immigrants facing criminal charges. Chigogora served 15 months in prison for his connection with a Boxing Day home invasion back in 2012. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
