CARAVAN/MARCH 2014 TO BRUSSELS
FOR EQUALITY, DIGNITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
CALL FOR ACTION AND MOBILIZATION (draft)

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 caravan for equality,
dignity and social justice. A caravan 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 caravan will also be a caravan 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, and especially Roma, as well as the
fierce exploitation of migrants' labor force contributes to
the general attack and lowering of workers'rights 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
* Mobility for asylum seekers, against the Dublin trap (? Residenzpflicht
?, residence requirement)
* Permanent documents, without criteria (not depending
on working contracts)
* Same working conditions for all
* Stop the business of imprisoning and deportation of
migrants
* Same political, social and cultural rights for all
Memory and dignity !
We come from countries that have been affected for decades
by colonial and imperialist wars and policies of European
governments. Therefore we demand the acknowledgment
and a concrete compensation for these crimes.
Demands:
* Stop the EU imperialist policy (free market treaties , NATO
wars ... )
* Abolition of Frontex, Eurosur or other anti-migration
policies
* Stop the violation of migrants, refugees, Romas' or Gypsies'
rights through the instrumentalizing of social welfare
aiming at more control
Social rights and social justice:
More economical, social, cultural and political rights for all
(demonstration, expression, vote). Education, health and
housing for all. Against racism and sexism.
