[g8-sheffield] NEW: Magical Mystery Tour in Sheffield now 15th October

[fabian]

Hi there...
after the case for the Sukula family in Bolton - and for this matter the
case against all immigration controls, for freedom of movement and the
right to stay - has gained both urgency and momentum in recent weeks,
sheffield no borders collective yesterday decided to support the call to
march in Bolton on the 1st October
(for more info see: http://www.sukula.org )
and postponed the magical mystery tour by two weeks to Saturday Ocotber 15th.
We are also calling for an immediate stop of the ongoing deportations of
Kurdisch Irakies: Join the protest in Sheffield Peace Gardens, Town
Centre, Sat. 27th August 2pm.

Sheffield No borders collective

((revised call))
Magical Mystery Tour in Sheffield - C A L L - O U T

Sheffield No-Borders collective is inviting you to join a magical mystery
tour on 15th October in Sheffield. The magical mystery tour took place for
the first time in Glasgow during G8 mobilisations
(have a look at http://www.makebordershistory.org )
and works basically like a tourist style walking tour through the city
centre, hitting various places and buildings where racist policies are
implemented through state agents or private cooperations (making
profits off it). Participating "tourists" are introduced to background
information about the visited sites.

Mapping the invisible borders
Sheffield No Borders collective will produce a map of the city centre that
highlightens these sites of exclusion and internal borders which are
usually kept invisible.
We hope to create awareness among participants and media about the
"magical mystery tours" of racist institutions that asylum seekers,
migrants and other foreigners are forced to go through when they do what
is most natural and easy for people with "good" passports,
tourists, managers, the global upper class:  crossing state borders....
the tour is promoting the political demand of the abolishment
of all national borders and immigration controls...e.g. the freedom of
movement and the right to stay as basic human rights.

We are calling for activists, performers, journalists, designers and
artists in and around Sheffield to join our efforts and help in the
production of the tour and the map.
