The Canadian Refugees Welcome Movement (2015-2016) was one of the most sizeable, visible, and effective instances of collective action in recent Canadian history. It had a nationwide scope and grassroots initiation. It comprised a wide variety of participants and actively employed social media in its constitution. This article reports the results of a multimethod case study that seeks to explain how collective action frames emerged in the context of the Canadian Refugees Welcome Movement; which actors were involved in their articulation; and how they generated a following, collective action and humanitarian and political effect. The focus is on the discursive processes of construction of solidarity across difference as they unfolded in the social media environment. The Facebook event pages calling for rallies in support of Syrian refugees, it argues, served as a discursive space that helped transform the moral shock experienced by members of distinct moral communities into a process of concerting of voices and construction of solidarity and collective action frames across differences.
加拿大难民欢迎运动（2015-2016 年）是加拿大近代历史上规模最大、最引人注目的集体行动之一。该运动具有全国性的范围和基层的发起。它由各种各样的参与者组成，并在其组成中积极利用社交媒体。本文报告了一项多方法案例研究的结果，该研究旨在解释集体行动框架是如何在加拿大难民欢迎运动的背景下出现的；哪些行为者参与了框架的阐述；以及它们如何产生后续行动、集体行动和人道主义及政治影响。重点是探讨在社交媒体环境中跨越差异构建团结的话语过程。文章认为，呼吁集会支持叙利亚难民的 Facebook 活动页面充当了一个话语空间，帮助将不同道德群体成员所经历的道德冲击转化为协调各方声音、构建团结和跨越差异的集体行动框架的过程。
