Hi everybody,
in Italy we're building this initiative against Austria intention to close the border with Italy and establish a barbed-wire fence between the 2 countries. The call is collecting signatures and you're welcome to sign up as well
In solidarity against borders

Let's disobey against borders to build a welcoming Europe!
Women and men, children and elders have been trying to reach Europe for months and months to find a future away from wars and hunger. In Aegean islands, in Italy as in Austria, in the Balkans as in Germany, everywhere along boundaries and in cities, European citizens are getting organised to express solidarity and support toward those who face most dangerous and expensive routes to reach a fair life.
With their politics of exclusion, Governments of European countries are driving us toward a dangerous drift, that of indifference, selfishness, inhumanity risking the project of a free and open Europe.
Not only they want us emotionless to lost minors, to women aim of unspeakable violences, to the deaths in the Aegean and Mediterranean Sea, bus also they want us to be their allies in policies that stop and make people guilty when they refuse a destiny of misery for them and their families.
The Austrian Government has announced the reactivation of controls and and fences at the border with Italy, to reject migrants and to make of southern Europe a greater detention center.
Sweden and Netherlands have announced mass deportation for migrants denied of asylum, forgetting that this practice has been introduced in the darkest years of Europe history.
The Danish Government have passed a law to steal refugees’ little possessions, proposing the same possibility for all Danish citizens with low incomes.
This is not the Europe we want!
Around migration and welcome policies is played a bigger challenge concerning the future of Europe in which we live. The Hotpot system punishes hundred thousands of people to being illegal by denying in advance the right to ask for international protection in Europe, while Greece is threatened of being expelled from the EU. More and more States are trying to interrupt Schengen Agreements for EU citizens as well, while welfare facilities are being cancelled everywhere, linked to income or to job positions. Barriers to our rights, administrative frontiers to restrict in illegality are rising up. These politics are deeply unfair as well as illegitimate and damaging for the living together and for the future of our society
This is not our Europe!
Today we believe it’s the moment to make the voices of everyone who refuse walls and barded wire heard, of who like us are not resigned to a future of racism, exploitation, precariousness, injustice, inequality.
In this present used by fear and hate profiteers, by politics urging for war among poor, we need to make heard the voice of who like us build up every day a piece of a more fair, including, human and democratic society.
That’s why we invite everybody to work on the building of a trasnational demonstration at Italy-Austria border for the end of March. A big mobilization that expresses a clear refusal of borders and fences and a strong approval to freedom of movement.
Our spring starts here!
