October 2006, all over Europe and beyond ...<BR><BR>"In the name of fighting
clandestine immigration, governments are<BR>adopting repressive policies and
are expanding the frontiers of wealthy<BR>nations through centers of
detention, ejections, expulsions and<BR>selection of the labour force." (from
the migration-related Appeal of<BR>Bamako/Mali at the Polycentric World Social
Forum in January 2006)<BR><BR>The European migration regime makes migrants
'illegal'. One of the main<BR>measures of the European Union authorities
against the movements and<BR>struggles of migration is currently the
establishment of camps and<BR>other instruments of migration control outside
Europe, in African and<BR>east European countries (their
'externalisation').<BR><BR>When thousands of migrants and refugees
collectively stormed the border<BR>fences of the Spanish enclaves in Ceuta and
Melilla in October last<BR>year, the crucial demands for freedom of movement
and for equal rights<BR>were clearly brought to public attention, at least for
the moment. The<BR>inhuman, barbaric reactions, the fatal shootings and mass
deportations<BR>to the desert, mirrored the escalating level of conflict and
the crisis<BR>of the European migration regime.<BR><BR>But there is an ongoing
process undermining this migration regime, not<BR>only from 'outside' the
borders, but also from the inside. All over<BR>Europe, almost every day, there
are social and political struggles,<BR>protests and campaigns against camps
and deportations, for asylum<BR>rights for women and men, for legalisation,
for European citizenship<BR>rights based on residence rather than nationality
and against the<BR>exploitation of migrant labour. These struggles go far
beyond any<BR>narrow understanding of European identity.<BR><BR>Our new joint
call for a Day of Action follows the mobilisations on 31<BR>January 2004 and
on 2 April 2005, when we held the first and second<BR>days of action on
migration in more than 50 cities across Europe. At<BR>the European Social
Forum in Athens in May 2006, the issue of migration<BR>for the first time had
its own thematic 'axis'. A growing network of<BR>migration-related initiatives
decided in the final assembly to take<BR>another step and coordinate actions
around 7 October.<BR><BR>Taking into account specific regional and national
conditions and the<BR>circumstances of various struggles, our Day of Action
aims for<BR>resistance at European and even transcontinental levels.
Our<BR>mobilisation will make the first moves towards Europe-wide
central<BR>activities in order to develop the idea of a common demonstration
in<BR>2007, either in Brussels or at another place of public interest.
Our<BR>aim is to address Europe as a whole and not only national
governments.<BR><BR>In addition the chosen date in October is a reminder of
the events in<BR>Ceuta and Melilla in 2005. We will make a particular effort
to build<BR>cooperation with initiatives in Africa. A simultaneous day of
actions<BR>in European and African cities in October would help to promote an
axis<BR>on migration in the next World Social Forum, which will take place
in<BR>Nairobi (Kenya) in January 2007. This corresponds with the Bamako
Call<BR>which we have already quoted from: 'In the period from the Bamako
Forum<BR>to the one in Nairobi, we propose a year long
international<BR>mobilisation in defense of the right of all people to
circulate freely<BR>around the world and to determine their own destiny...
Finally we call<BR>for an international day of mobilisation that could take
place in the<BR>sites/symbols of the frontiers (airports, detention centers,
embassies,<BR>etc.)'.<BR><BR>Above all, we are determined to stress the global
dimension of migrant<BR>struggles today. Thus, we intend to connect our Day of
Action with the<BR>initiatives and ongoing mass mobilisations of the American
migrants<BR>movement in the next future.<BR><BR>The 3rd Day of Action will be
directed against the denial of rights,<BR>against the criminalisation of
migrants and against all immigration<BR>controls, articulating clear demands
within the framework of freedom of<BR>movement and the right to stay:<BR><BR>-
For a European unconditional legalisation and equal rights for
all<BR> migrants<BR>- For the closure of all detention centers in
Europe and everywhere<BR>- For an end to all deportations and of the
externalisation process<BR>- For the uncoupling of the residence permit from
the labour contract and<BR> against
'precarity'.<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
