7 October Day of Action

3rd day of Migration-Related Actions: 7 Oct 2006
A call from the European No Border Movement


When thousands of migrants and refugees collectively stormed the border fences of the Spanish enclaves in Ceuta and Melilla (Spanish border outposts in Africa) in October last year, the crucial demands for freedom of movement and for equal rights were clearly brought to public attention, at least for the moment.
Our new joint call for a Day of Action follows the mobilisations on 31 January 2004 and on 2 April 2005, when we held the first and second days of action on migration in more than 50 cities across Europe. The 3rd Day of Action will be directed against the denial of rights, against the criminalisation of migrants and against all immigration controls, articulating clear demands within the framework of freedom of movement and the right to stay [read the call]
