MARCH FOR FREEDOM, EQUALITY, DIGNITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
CALL FOR ACTION AND MOBILIZATION
We are asylum seekers, refugees, undocumented migrants, europeans with a « migration
background », we are all those who have no full citizenship. We are those who wear the
label « not from here ». Our real or supposed origin is an argument to deprive us of many
rights. Yet our life is here, and like everyone else we just want to build a decent life for us
and our families.
We are also human beings who refuse exploitation and discrimination. We decided to
fight against it and those who oppress us, control us, exploite us, criminalize us.
We decided to organize a European march for freedom, equality, dignity and social
justice. A march will therefore go from the largest number of European countries to
Brussels (Belgium), where the European institutions are settled. By this action we want
to give our own opinion and solutions to our own problems.
This march will also be a march for the memory ! It will remind everyone that migration
in the twentieth century provided entire armies of soldiers and workers who died on the
front lines or worked to death for the benefit of European states.
The drama of hundreds of women, children and men who die each year in the
Mediterranean See or in Lampedusa is only the most visible part of the failure of
Europas repressive and restrictive migration policies.
Men, women and children are forced to exile for reasons related to wars (often
supported and funded by the western governments) or by the consequences of
structural adjustment policies imposed by international institutions to the populations
of the south, always at the expense of the common good of these peoples. These lives are
broken by the criminal enforcement of migration policies.
We believe that stopping the circulation of people by reinforcing the controls and the
repression is just another illusion fooling public opinion and the citizens. Because
migrating is a necessity. Particularly when one escapes war, starvation or poverty.
All this takes place in a context of economic crisis where the social rights of the working
classes are being destroyed, one after the others. The rise of racism and discrimination
against migrants, refugees, Roma, as well as the fierce exploitation of migrants’ labor
force contributes to the general attack and lowering of woworkers’ights and of all the
lower classes of society. More than ever, we are being targtargeted blamed for every
social and political problems.
Therefore, we call all working, insecure and oppressed people to unite for more rights,
for a world of peace and social justice, and to join massively our fight for our demands !
Equality and the end of competition between all !
The capitalist system uses our real or supposed divisions to install competition between
us. Racism and differences of status are instrumentalized for this purpose. These
divisions weaken us ; all equal, we are stronger !
Demands :
• Freedom of movement and residency for all asylum seekers
• Stop the Dublin trap and the obligatory residence in Lagers throughout Europe
• Permanent documents without criteria (not depending on working contracts or
individual state prosecution)
