A get-together for info sharing and first thoughts on a UK mobilisation
for the Brussels NoBorder Camp in September
Saturday 10th Aprill, 3pm, at the Walkabout, 56 Upper Street, Angel, London N1 0NY
First call out:
NO BORDER CAMP Brussels - September 27th October 3th
The NO BORDER CAMP IN BRUSSELS is set up in the tradition of No Bordercamps organised across the globe since the 90s. Neither a formal organisation, nor a normative frame, No Border is first of all a
convergence of struggles and a meeting set in a particular moment, in a particular place.
As in Calais or Lesbos in 2009, it will be a free space dedicated to
sharing information, experience or expertise. It will provide space for
the preparation and implementation of actions aimed at smashing the
borders that divide us all.
OUR BASIC PRINCIPLES ARE:
- Equal rights for everybody!
- No borders, no nations!
- Freedom of movement and settlement
- No-one is illegal !
WHY IN BRUSSELS?
For 10 years, the European Union has been busy to build a Fortress Europe. It outsources its borders in Asia and Africa and makes use of border guard patrols, helicopters and ships through its Frontex agency (European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders). Moreover, its foreign policy now allows financing states from Ukraine to Morocco in order to have them performing its own work of "prevention" of immigration.
As the capital of Europe, Brussels is the symbol of this (anti) migration
policy. By organising the No Border Camp there, we will question these
European (anti) migration policies.
WHEN IN BRUSSELS?
- The construction of the No Border camp will take place from September 24th-26th
- Activities and actions will start from September 27th until October 3rd with a big demonstration on Saturday 2nd October 2010.
During this one week we would like to see in Brussels swarm with a variety of activities around (anti) migrations policies and their consequences. The camp will be an opportunity to fight together combining different kinds of actions, but also to create common initiatives with a long-term vision. We invite all associations and individuals to participate the way they wish, by proposing activities or collaborations.
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE AND SUPPORT?
A NOBORDERCAMP is what everyone makes of it:
- Offer ideas for workshops, films or exhibition, or contacting speakers,
artists, or any other modest and/or brilliant proposals
- Proposals concerning grounds, premises, places to house militants and/or organise activities
- A financial contribution
- By organising an activity, event support to raise money for the camp
- To participate in networking with others...
- To translate, if so, in what language
The more we are, the better we will be heard, the fastest we will go forward.
JOIN US, YOU HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY IN THE BIRTH OF THE CRITITICAL MASS, NECESSARY FOR THE CHANGE! THERE IS A NEED FOR EVERYONE!
