Everyone is invited, with all its color, originality and ideas, to take his place in the community. Projects developed are based on the values of participatory democracy, equality, respect for people, sustainable development and social and environmental alternatives.

The Centre International des Femmes, Québec (CIFQ) is a non-profit organization established in 1981 specifically to support immigrant women and their families.

Born during the Oka crisis in 1990, the Regroupement de solidarité avec les Autochtones played a central role, on the one hand, to testify the existence of a fringe sympathetic to Native people in Quebec society and, on the other hand, facilitate dialogue between Québec civil society and rights defense movements of Native people.

Progressively, the Regroupement de solidarité avec les Autochtones was born and continued its activities by relying on the mobilization and involvement of many people.
