Sign our call for EU leaders to change course and end the war on migrants
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.

Palestine: We call for an intersectional and feminist solidarity that transcends borders
We stand unapologetically in solidarity with the Palestinian people. We honor the Palestinian women*, who, in the face of immense pain, death, and oppression, sustain families and communities.
Our feminism is anti-colonial and anti-racist at its core, meaning a radical transformation of society. We reject capitalist greed, colonial violence and patriarchal exploitation, which lead us only to death and destruction. Instead, we choose solidarity, sustainability and freedom. We choose life.

Do you live in a Heim / Shelter in Berlin or Brandenburg > Could you answer a few questions about the Bezahlkarte?
The introduction of the Bezahlkarte for refugees is taking us back then to the old system of Vouchers we once fought to be abolished.
We want to identify where the Bezahlkarte is already in use and where it will be soon. We want to know what information is being shared about it and what questions people have.
We have created a short survey for anyone living in Heims / Shelters in Berlin or Brandenburg.
There are only a few questions and it will take just take a few minutes to answer.
