*DOWNTOWN BUSES*

-----------------------------------------

Rallying supporters and friends are demanding that Citizenship and Immigration expedite Sarah's Humanitarian and Compassionate Application llowing her to stay in Canada. A press conference with Sarah and members of endorsing organizations will follow.

----------------------------------------

Sarah has been living in Canada since she was 11 years old. She is a volunteer at Beatrice House, a women's shelter and works at a local café and knitting shop. Though she won the Herb Carnegie award and recognition from the lieutenant-governor for community service and work as a volunteer, the former Student Council President was forced to quit University when she could not afford the high international fees.

No One Is Illegal-Toronto calls on all student unions and campus organisations to endorse an emergency rally and press conference to stop deportation of York student Sarah Leonty.
