Today, sanctuary includes campaigns for access to services, anti-deportation efforts, and struggles against police collaboration with immigration enforcement. But is it enough?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrganizing Sanctuary \u003c\/i\u003edraws on interviews with migrant justice activists, social movement archives, and policy documents to assess Canadian urban sanctuary organizing over the last four decades. Karl Gardner explores the tensions between \"sanctuary from above,\" exemplified by institutional and policy reforms, and \"sanctuary from below,\" involving grassroots organizing with service providers and migrant communities. He then argues for an abolitionist approach--one informed by Black liberation, No Borders, and decolonial movements--that is more necessary than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karl Gardner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774872470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774872478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Karl Gardner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440620318975,"sku":"9780774872478","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f43f45ab-3773-42eb-a33e-f686fb3529da.jpg?v=1777183668","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/organizing-sanctuary-karl-gardner-9780774872478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
