> 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

> More economical, social, cultural and political rights for all
> (demonstration, expression, vote). Education, health and
