CCNCTO has long worked and organized with Chinese workers. We have worked closely with other organizations to support and spread awareness about issues impacting Chinese workers and empower the rights of workers ranging from workers in restaurants, factories, grocery stores, and massage parlours.
平权会长期致力于与华裔工人合作并进行组织工作。我们与其他机构密切合作，支持并宣传影响华裔工人面临的问题，为餐馆、工厂、超市和按摩店工人在内的各类工人赋权，维护他们的权益。
In our work, we have seen how anti-Asian racism is widely experienced. Oftentimes, migrants are blamed for their own exploitation when instead it is employers who take advantage of the knowledge and service gap impacting Asian migrants and who choose to exploit workers for their own profit and benefit. This is where our work to empower, organize, and advocate with workers is extremely important.
在我们的工作中，我们看到了亚裔群体普遍经历的种族歧视。许多时候，移民被责怪，被要求为自己遭受的剥削负责，而实际上是雇主利用影响亚裔移民的信息差和获取社保服务的阻碍，选择剥削工人以获取自身利益。这也是我们与工人共同努力，赋能、组织和倡导的重要意义所在。
While issues such as wage theft, arbitrary evictions, inaccessibility in healthcare, and more impact many workers, we can empower workers with community and education, organize them to take action, and advocate alongside them to fight for their rights and for justice.
尽管工资盗窃、任意驱逐、难以获得医疗保健等问题影响着许多工人，但我们可以通过社群和教育为工人赋权，组织他们采取行动，与他们一起发声，为争取他们的权利和正义而斗争。
Our work aims to connect marginalized Chinese workers with the larger labour movement and to empower them with knowledge and tools to take action improving individual and collective working conditions.
我们的工作旨在将被边缘化的中国工人与更广泛的劳工运动联系起来，并用知识和工具为工人赋能，使他们能够采取行动改善个人和集体的工作条件。
While this page highlights some of the key efforts that CCNCTO and community members have engaged in, such as advocating for wage justice and immigration regularization, there are many other activities that have not been listed here. Our community members have been active in additional campaigns, relationship building with labor rights organizations, and ongoing worker consultations to adapt and strengthen our strategies.
本页面重点介绍了平权会和社群成员参与的一些主要工作，如倡导工资公正和移民大赦，但还有许多其他活动没有在此列出。我们的社群成员一直积极参与各种活动，与其他劳工权利组织建立关系，平权会也不断与工人进行咨询和协商，以调整和加强我们的战略。
This is a timeline of some of the work we have done:
部分已完成工作的时间表
2022-2024 年:
Focus on supporting
workers experiencing
重点支持面临如下问题的工人
1) wage theft 工资盗窃
2) immigration issues 移民问题
3) difficulties in healthcare
医疗服务困境
4) challenges faced in the
workplace 工作场所中的挑战
Throughout this time, our team began to conduct outreach regularly, meeting precarious and marginalized community members in person to share community information and resources with them. In 2022, we focused many outreach activities on Chinese grocery stores, restaurants, and plazas. From 2023 onwards, we expanded outreach to schools (high schools, colleges, and universities) and community centers to reach more youth, international students, and parents. Our focus has remained to reach workers in precarious and frontline jobs and build trust within the community.
在此期间，我们团队开始定期开展外展活动，和处境不稳定及边缘化的社区成员面对面交流，向他们分享社区信息和资源。2022年，我们的外展活动主要集中在华人超市、餐馆和商场。从2023年起，我们将外展范围拓展到学校（高中、学院和大学）以及社区中心，以接触更多青年、留学生和家长。我们的重点始终是接触处在不稳定处境和一线岗位的工人，并在社区中建立信任。
-
In this time, we have established over 1300 contacts across more than 130 in-person outreach sessions.
在这段时间里，我们通过130多次的线下外展活动，和超过1300个社群成员建立了联系。
-
60% of individuals that we have connected to since 2020 are lower-wage (im)migrants in precarious frontline work who experience multiple barriers in their community.
自2020年以来，我们所接触的60%人群都是低收入（移民）工人，他们从事着不稳定的前线工作，并在社区中面临多重阻碍。
-
We have maintained these contacts through digital outreach, where we can better engage them through one-on-one communication to share:
我们通过线上外展的方式与社群成员保持联系，通过一对一的交流，我们通过向他们分享以下信息令他们更好的参与进来：
1) Wage Theft 工资盗窃
Experiences of wage theft and exploitation have been common among many Chinese workers we have connected to. It is important to recognize that these are common experiences because employers take advantage of information and service gaps to exploit Asian (im)migrant workers.
在和我们联络的华裔工人中，工资盗窃和剥削是很常见的。我们认为，认识到这是一个普遍现象很重要，因为雇主常常会利用信息差和社保服务上的缺口来剥削亚裔移民劳工。
3) Difficulties in Healthcare 健康医疗的困难
Many Chinese community members that we are connected to experience difficulties when accessing healthcare, largely due to service and information gaps. Many community members may not be able to access healthcare services in English and oftentimes healthcare information is not available in Chinese. Furthermore, community members with precarious immigration status may be ineligible for many healthcare programs and services. As such, community members often go without adequate healthcare for longer periods of time, resulting in more negative healthcare outcomes.
我们联系到的许多华裔社区成员在获取医疗服务时面临困难。主要原因是服务和信息上的缺口。许多社区成员无法用英语获得医疗服务，医疗信息也往往缺乏中文版本。此外，身份不稳定的社区成员可能无法符合许多医疗项目和服务的资格。因此，社区成员经常长期得不到足够的医疗护理，导致更为不利的健康状况。
2) Immigration Issues 移民议题
Many Chinese community members we are connected to experience issues relating to their immigration status; many issues relating to their immigration status negatively impacts their working, renting, and healthcare experiences.
Exploitation through loopholes in the housing market continues today. Numerous community members we are connected to have had to pay several months of rent up-front and/or have had to live in illegal and unsafe housing conditions.
我们联系的很多社区成员都面临与移民身份相关的问题。其中不少问题对他们的工作、租房和医疗服务体验造成了负面影响。住房市场中的漏洞使他们易遭剥削的情况至今仍在持续。许多社区成员被迫预付几个月的房租，或者不得不生活在非法且不安全的居住环境中。
While these loopholes allow individuals and corporations to take advantage of Asian migrants, anti-Asian and anti-immigrant sentiments frame Chinese (im)migrants as the villains in the housing market. We are blamed for the lack of affordable housing, which allows the government to avoid taking action.
尽管这些漏洞使个人和企业能够剥削亚裔移民，但反亚裔和反移民情绪却将华裔移民描绘成住房市场的“反派”。我们被指责为住房负担问题的罪魁祸首，这让政府得以逃避采取行动。
We have supported workers experiencing wage theft, immigration issues, and difficulties in healthcare in various ways including:
我们为经历过工资盗窃、移民问题和医疗服务困难的工人提供了支持。支持的方式如下：
-
Information sharing: CCNCTO has produced resources that we share on outreach and hosted workshops
with partner organizations (4-6 per year) to:
信息共享：平权会整合了资源在外展时分享，并与伙伴机构共同组织工作坊（每年4-6场）:
a) Inform workers about their rights and how to protect themselves in the workplace.
告知工人他们的权利以及如何在工作场所保护自己。
-
We have also created a Worker Calendar (2022 onwards) to spread awareness about economic injustices facing Chinese workers and help empower and protect folks in precarious work everywhere!
我们我们制作了工人日历（2022年以后）旨在提升对华裔工人所面临的经济不公的认识，并帮助赋权和保护各地从事不稳定工作的群体。 -
We share these Calendars in the community and with partner organizations
我们在社区和其他合作伙伴组织中分享日历。 -

c) The goal with individual casework is to help community members in the short term while building their capacity to advocate for
long term change that will benefit them and others in the community.
个案支持的目标是在短期内为社区成员提供帮助，同时提升他们的能力以推动长期变革，让他们自己和社区的其他人在未来受益。
From 2022 to 2024, we have assisted with the following casework:

-
Wage-related issues: Employment Insurance (EI), Employment Standards Act (ESA), and Ontario Works (OW).
与工资相关的问题：包括就业保险（EI）、《就业标准法》（ESA）和安省社会救助（OW）。
3. Report writing: In 2023 we published a community report “Chinese Migrant Workers' Experiences Working With Legal Representatives In Immigration” highlighting scam, abuse, and/or exploitation by immigration agents, consultants, and lawyers and calling for change. We also published best suggestions, tips, and best practices for Chinese migrant workers regarding how to protect your rights while working with immigration professionals.
报告撰写：2023年，我们发布了一份社区报告《社区研究：华裔移工的移民经历》，重点揭露了移民代理、顾问和律师的欺诈、滥用行为和/或剥削现象，并呼吁变革。与此同时，我们还发布了最佳建议、提示和最佳实践，指导华人移民工人在与移民专业人士合作时如何保护自己的权益。
4. Creating a Senior Handbook Resource, to spread awareness about barriers faced by marginalized Chinese working seniors and improve their access to community programs and services.
制作《长者手册》资源，以提高对边缘化华裔长者工人所面临障碍的认识，并改善他们对社区项目和服务的获取途径。
5. Strengthening our connections/partnerships to broader worker movements to demonstrate Chinese Workers’ leadership. This includes showing up for and taking on organizing roles in different rallies, reinforcing Chinese representation in social justice, etc.. 加强我们与更广泛工人运动的联系与合作，展现华裔工人的领导力。这包括参与并在各种集会中担任组织角色，强化华人群体在社会正义中的代表性等。
a) Speaking at a public rally in September 2024: To truly create change, Status for All ensures that community members will not be exploited by gaps in the system, including in the healthcare, employment, and immigration system. A CCNCTO member and international student, Hex, spoke publicly about this issue. See the video here
在2024年9月的一次公开集会上发言：要真正实现变革，“人人有身份”运动确保社区成员不会因系统中的漏洞（包括医疗、就业和移民系统）而被剥削。平权会的一名成员兼国际学生Hex在集会上公开谈论了这一问题。请点击此处观看视频。
Our goal remains 我们的目标始终是:
We want to help Chinese workers who are ignored and can't find other support. We want everyone to know that we have the power to make a change! The problems we encounter are because the government allows bosses, landlords, etc. to exploit workers.
Every time we help a worker and connect with more workers,
our community becomes stronger.
我们要帮助那些被忽视、找不到其他支持的华裔工人。我们希望大家明白，我们有力量去作出改变！我们遇到的问题，是因为政府让老板、房东等人可以剥削工人。每次我们帮助一个工人、和更多工人连接，我们的社区就变得更强大。
Workers, join us and drive change together!
工人们，加入我们，一起推动改变！

2020-2023:
Focus on COVID-19 support
and recovery
重点关注新冠疫情支持和恢复
Throughout this time period, we recognized that key issues impacting workers were: 1) lack of sufficient PPE to keep them safe on the frontlines, 2) service and information gap impacting workers (i.e. health services, like vaccinations, and updated information on COVID-19 was often inaccessible), 3) lack of general community support and awareness.
在此期间，我们注意到影响工人的关键问题有， 1）缺乏足够的个人防护装备（PPE）来保障一线工作的安全， 2）服务和信息的缺口对工人造成影响（例如健康服务，疫苗接种，以及关于COVID-19的最新信息通常难以获取），3）缺乏社区整体支持和公众意识。
We organized with workers on these issues through针对如上问题，我们组织工人们通过以下方式应对
-
Community outreach to provide them with PPE社区外展，提供个人防护装备（PPE）
-
Health and vaccination-related events 健康和疫苗接种相关活动
-
Digital outreach to listen to frontline workers’ concerns and provide support wherever possible, including mental health support 进行线上外展，倾听前线工人的诉求，尽可能提供支持，包括心理健康支持
-
Publishing a community report “Our Lives Are Essential: Chinese Canadian Frontline Workers Pandemic Report”发布社区报告《我们的生命是不可或缺的：新冠病毒期间，华裔前线工人处境报告》
-
This report visibilized frontline workers’ efforts and issues throughout COVID-19该报告凸显了前线工人在新冠疫情期间的努力和所面临的问题。
-
Throughout 2022, we also organized events to provide community members with COVID-19 information and assistance, including helping with vaccination registration整个2022年，我们举办了一系列活动，向社区成员提供新冠肺炎相关信息和帮助，包括协助疫苗接种注册。
-
These events were in direct response to the healthcare access crisis exacerbated by COVID-19, which affected low-income and migrant workers新冠疫情导致了低收入和移民工人的难以获取医疗服务。这些活动是对这一危机的直接应对。
-
By giving out personal protective equipment, helping people register for vacancies, and sharing updated healthcare information in Chinese, we aimed to reduce barriers to healthcare for those who were uninsured or were unable to access healthcare information. 通过发放个人防护装备，帮助人们注册疫苗接种，用中文分享最新的医疗信息等活动，我们致力于减少没有医疗保险或难以获取医疗信息人群获取医疗服务的阻碍。
During this period, many workers became familiar with CCNCTO, which created a strong foundation for the progress of our future worker initiatives. 在此期间，很多工人开始熟悉平权会，这为我们在未来推进工人活动建立了坚实的基础。
-
This went beyond COVID, as we also started to work on other healthcare issues impacting community members such as 1) addressing language inaccessibility in healthcare and 2) accessing healthcare with precarious status. 这些工作超越了新冠疫情本身，我们还开始就社区成员面临的其他医疗问题展开工作，例如：1）解决医疗系统中的语言障碍问题。2）为身份不稳定的社群成员获取医疗服务提供支持。
