A pledge for Niagara municipal candidates

Road Safety for All

Everyone deserves the freedom to move safely through their community. Migrant farm workers are asking candidates to commit to practical action so that every worker can get to work, reach essential services and return home safely.

Take the pledge Read the commitments

Freedom of mobility

Road safety is about the freedom to live a full life.

Freedom of mobility means being able to travel between work, home, grocery stores, health care, legal services and community without risking your life.

For many migrant farm workers, there is little or no public transit. Workers may have no choice but to walk or cycle on dark rural roads without safe shoulders, bike lanes, crossings or lighting to get privacy and access basic needs.

Essential Work. Invisible to public planning.

Migrant workers have helped sustain Niagara’s farms and food economy for sixty years. Their labour is visible everywhere. Their safety, transportation needs and voices have too often been missing from road design, transit planning and government decisions.

They have names

These deaths and injuries are part of a pattern.

At least seven migrant farm workers have been killed or seriously injured on Niagara roads since 2019. Behind that number are workers, neighbours, friends and family members.

2026 Sinhue Garcia

Sinhue was killed while cycling home on Concession 6 near Line 4 in Niagara-on-the-Lake. He was 39 years old and leaves behind his wife and two daughters in Mexico.

2019 Zenaida

Zenaida, a Mexican farm worker and mother, was killed in a hit-and-run in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

2022 Fermin Soto Sanchez and two co-workers

Fermin was killed and two of his co-workers were seriously injured when they were struck near St. Catharines.

2022 Ceto Reid

Ceto, a Jamaican farm worker, was seriously injured while cycling home from a laundromat.

2023 Omar

Omar, a migrant farm worker, was injured in a hit-and-run on Lakeshore Road.

Sinhue Garcia was a neighbour, a co-worker, a friend and a father. He deserved to get home safely. So does every migrant worker who comes to Niagara to work.

The Road Safety for All Pledge

Candidates who sign commit to:

Working with migrant farm workers, community members, municipal staff and regional partners to advance the following actions.

1. Create and fund a migrant farm worker road safety plan

   Support multi-year funding for improved lighting, protected shoulders or bike lanes, traffic calming, safer crossings and lower speeds on routes used by workers.

2. Complete a worker-led road safety audit and map

   Ensure migrant farm workers directly identify dangerous roads, routes and destinations and help set priorities for action.

3. Put worker-identified routes into municipal and regional plans

   Use transportation and master planning processes to prioritize routes identified by migrant workers.

4. Assign responsibility and report publicly on progress

   Identify a lead Niagara Region staff person and provide at least two public reports to council each year: one before and one after the height of the agricultural season from May to September.

5. Ensure migrant worker housing is safe and dignified

   Support proactive inspections through Niagara Region Public Health, including access to basic facilities, privacy, adequate space and protection from unsafe conditions.

6. Call for a coroner’s inquest

   Publicly support an investigation into migrant farm worker road deaths and serious injuries in Niagara.

7. Meet directly with migrant farm workers

   Hold direct meetings with workers and release a public implementation plan during the first year of the new council.

Debora Kapisha, the registered nurse detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently at Portland International Jetport, has been released from ICE custody and is on her way home to Maine. Kapisha, a medical-surgical nurse at Maine Medical Center in Portland, is a member of Maine State Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee an affiliate of National Nurses United, the country’s largest nurses union.

Hundreds of union registered nurses, community allies, and elected officials rallied in Portland, Maine to demand the release of Debora Kapisha, RN, a nurse at Maine Medical Center who is currently detained by ICE. They scored a major first victory by successfully blocking her transfer from Massachusetts to Louisiana, where she would have been far from her family, legal counsel, and support network.

On Saturday, Aug. 8, Community First Medical Center nurses will hold a rally and community event in Chicago to highlight their concerns about the impact of federal funding cuts on the hospital, which is already struggling with chronic staffing and equipment shortages exacerbated by poor management. A report from NNU put Community First on “Red Alert” status, warning that it faces a dire threat of service cuts and closure because of its reliance on federal funding.

RNs at Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital, a CommonSpirit hospital in Grass Valley, California, will hold a rally on Aug. 6, 2026, to protest the hospital’s planned layoffs of seven nurses who work at the hospital. Nurses are also extremely concerned that hospital management is proposing to cut the patient care hours of the Ambulatory Treatment Center.

Nurses at Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine are staging an emergency protest Wednesday, Aug. 5 to demand the immediate release of an RN colleague who is being detained by ICE despite the fact that she is legally authorized to live and work in the country while she waits for her asylum case from Zambia to be processed.

RNs delivered a petition to their employer opposing CommonSpirit Health’s planned layoffs of more than 175 frontline health care workers signed by more than 5,000 nurses. The nurses held a rally and press conference to protest the proposed layoffs at 17 hospitals in California and their impact on patient safety. The nurses are demanding that CommonSpirit Health immediately rescind the layoffs.

NNU castigated the Israeli government for destroying or badly damaging almost all of Gaza’s medicine warehouses as part of its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people and in flagrant violation of a United Nations resolution prohibiting the targeting of medical facilities and medical workers during armed conflict.

Registered nurses will hold a press conference and rally at California Hospital Medical Center, in Los Angeles, Calif., on Monday, Aug. 3, to protest owner and operator CommonSpirit Health’s planned layoffs at 17 hospitals in California. Nurses say layoffs will jeopardize patient care and harm communities.

Registered nurses at Jackson Park Hospital and Medical Center (JPH) will hold an informational picket on Friday, July 31, 2026, to raise their concerns about short staffing of both nurses and ancillary staff putting patients at risk, contributing to a high staff turnover, and creating challenges recruiting and retaining nurses.

National Nurses United announced today that RNs will be joining protests on Saturday, July 25 to demand justice for the murders of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Registered nurses at Adventist Health St. Helena in St. Helena, Calif. voted overwhelmingly this week to join California Nurses Association (CNA), an affiliate of National Nurses United, the nation’s largest and fastest-growing registered nurse (RN) union. In an overwhelming landslide vote, 250 nurses elected to join CNA.

NNOC/NNU will host a press conference on Friday, July 24, 2026 in Raleigh, N.C., to call on the state to implement strong guardrails and worker protections against A.I. Among the demands are: a statewide moratorium on data centers and enforceable measures to ensure that health care professionals and patients make decisions about their care and treatment.

Registered nurses at MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, will hold a protest on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, to raise concerns about patient safety and reduced access to maternal healthcare for D.C. residents.

Maine Medical Center registered nurses and community allies will hold a press conference and rally on Thursday, July 23 in Portland to highlight their demand that MaineHealth cancel its contract with Palantir Technologies, a company that has helped enable increasingly deadly encounters with immigration officers, including, most recently, the murders of Johan Sebastian Durán Guerrero in Maine and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas.

Registered nurses at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital (SLUH) in St. Louis, Mo., will hold a rally on Wednesday, July 22, to protest SSM Health’s termination of two highly skilled and dedicated nurses for participating in protected, concerted union activities.

National Nurses United President Jamie Brown, RN, will testify at the Congressional Progressive Caucus’ (CPC) shadow hearing, “Universal Healthcare: Now is the Time for Medicare for All,” on Wednesday, July 22. NNU is the largest union of registered nurses, who see everyday how people cannot access or afford the health care they need when they need it.
