On Tuesday 25 of January the historical building of the Law school in Athens that is out of use at the moment- turned to be the place of a fair and democratic struggle; a place, where a lot of social struggles had taken place in the past, had the opportunity to host the struggle of 250 out of the 300 migrants- workers, who are fighting in Athens and Thessaloniki for the unconditional legalization of all migrants. A struggle for equal rights to life, carried out by those who want to be no longer invisible. Συνεχίστε την ανάγνωση Call for a Common Day of Action – 11th February 2011

Statement of Solidarity from ARCI (Italy) – HOME IS WHERE WE WANT TO LIVE!
Statement of Solidarity from ARCI (Italy)
Human beings must be able to decide freely and independently the place where
they want to live. They should be able to choose if they prefer to live
where their roots are or in a place different from where they were born.
However, states, economic power and political structures, unrelated to the
daily life of men, women and children in the world, impose arbitrarily their
will upon people by means of force and violence.
For this, having already gotten the approval of the Peoples Movement
Assembly at the World Social Forum for Migrations in Quito, Ecuador 2010 for
a day of world mobilization on December 18, 2011, we are promoting the
assembly ‘Home is where I want to live’ to take place at the World Social
Forum in Dakar to discuss and approve a concrete plan to carry out this
international day of action.
For this, from Italy and from Dakar, ARCI stand in solidarity with you and
migrants hunger strikers in Greece!
Your struggle is our struggle.
For us, migrants coming from all country of the world and residing in all
country of the world, the time has come.
The time has come to abandon narrow outlooks, passivity, fear and egoistic
divisions.
The time for accepting everything, including charity and inhuman
exploitation, just to survive, is over.
Now it’s time for a global vision of our live, a worthy life that every
human being deserves.
It’s time for a global vision of the world: we know it better than anyone
else because our migratory paths cross it in every direction.
We know how to neaten a shack and how to clean up a hut, but we also know
how to manage intricate computing networks.
It’s time to learn and teach: what are our rights and our responsibilities,
how to make the first eventually respected, without exceptions; how to fully
take charge of the second.
Statement of Shared Responsibility
We the undersigned, standing in solidarity with the struggle of the 300 migrants on hunger strike, hereby assume before the Greek society shared responsibility with our partners, who were summoned to testify as suspects of committing the crime of illegally transferring migrants.
We are guilty for transferring our dignity and solidarity
We are guilty for standing up for collectivity and supporting the fight for justice in a time of barbarism
We are guilty for not accepting discrimination of people on the basis of ethnicity, religion or gender.
We hereby declare that the fight for the legalisation of the migrants is the fight of all workers for equal rights and solidarity.
