Equinox Initiative for Racial Justice, Greek Forum of Migrants and International Women* Space invite you to join us in writing to EU leaders to condemn recent European political announcements on migration, and demand alternatives to the EU’s deadly border regime.
In recent weeks, EU leaders have declared war on migrants and international law. From illegal proposals to suspend the right to asylum and adopt offshore migrant processing models, the creation of EU ‘safe’ third-country lists, to our consistent reality of prison-like detention centres, state violence and racial profiling, illegal pushbacks and violent and unlawful deportations, European leaders have reached a point of no return. With this letter, we call on leaders to change course and present a meaningful alternative to current EU migration policy, which is illegal, immoral, and unworkable.
Read the letter here: EU leaders: Change course and end your war on migrants
Please sign via this form.
Who can sign? We invite migrant-led and racialised-led organisations to sign the call. We also encourage migrant-support organisations, individuals and academics to join the call as supporters (indicate in form).
This letter is the first joint initiative of the Migrant Justice Community of Practice (see below). For now, due to urgency, we are not accepting changes to the letter. However, consider joining the community of practice to develop future actions with us.
Please feel free to forward the invitation to your networks!
