No Border Lasts Forever Conference III:
Retrospectives and perspectives of the antiracist movements
21st-23rd of February 2014?in Frankfurt/Main
Studierendenhaus/ KOZ, Universit?t Frankfurt-Bockenheim, Mertonstr. 26-28

Two years ago, the last No Border Lasts Forever conference took place in Frankfurt. Two years of ongoing struggles and changes in the 
antiracist and the self-organized migrants movements. Amongst these ? 
most notably ? an uprising of refugees in form of many strong 
initiatives, transnationally ? even outside Europe ? as well as in 
Germany.
Refugees marched from W?rzburg to Berlin. Berlin has seen an occupied Oranienplatz for more than one year, putting the living conditions of 
refugees in Germany back on the political agenda. Lampedusa in Hamburg 
not only bridged the distance between the Mediterranean island and the 
Northern port city, but also built a strong urban alliance with a strong claim to a right to stay. In Baden-W?rttemberg a group of Afghan 
refugees from Hungary reclaimed their mobility and questioned the Dublin regime in the process. The Refugee Tribunal in Berlin denounced the 
inhumane migration policies of the German state systematically. In 
Bavaria, an ongoing campaign of hunger strikes, marches and? occupations mobilised many refugees and challenged both Residenzpflicht and 
Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz along a strong claim for the right to stay. 
In Lagers across Germany, self organised protests and tours aimed at 
breaking the isolation. The resistance against deportations is ongoing 
and intensifying. The new visibility of refugees? struggles is not 
confined to Germany, protest camps springing to life in the very centre 
of large European cities such as Amsterdam and Vienna. While a series of revolts and hunger strikes taking place in many prisons along the 
European border, we see ?no fingerprint? demonstrations in Lampedusa, 
sit-in-protests in Tunis and ongoing collective storms against the 
fences of Ceuta and Melilla. At the moment we experience a transnational perpetuation and condensing of the struggles for freedom of movement.
At the same time, we are faced with the continued cruelty of the 
European border regime, resulting in death and suffering. In spite of 
the public attention to the tragedy in Lampedusa in October 2013, 
initiatives such as a strengthening of Frontex and the establishment of 
the European Surveillance System EuroSUR are being pushed forward. 
Across Europe we witness a surge in racist and populist mobilisations, 
threatening to revert important victories and achievements of the last 
decades.
These developments require a re-construction of a political space of 
communication, debate and solidarity in order to advance the antiracist 
struggles and gain the potential to give collective responses 
acknowledging the multiplicity and diversity of struggles. The 
conference should offer a space for productive discussions, a space 
where we can discuss visions, victories, strategies, challenges and 
failures in a manner of solidarity.
The conference is prepared by antiracist, self-organized refugee and migrant groups and transnational networks.
