Montreal organizations seek meeting with Mayor over Palestine solidarity motion

A coalition of organizations, including the Coalition du Québec URGENCE Palestine, the Ligue des droits et libertés, Palestinians and Jews United (PAJU), and Amnesty International Canada, has requested a meeting with Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada.

The meeting request concerns a solidarity motion regarding the Palestinian people scheduled for debate at the Montreal City Council on August 24, 2026. The groups seek to discuss the motion and emphasize their commitment to human rights and the right to self-determination in the context of ongoing international scrutiny regarding actions in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
