Come to the No Borders Camp!

As long as the US/Mexico border has existed, people have been struggling against it. The border itself is a colonial war monument and it continues to be the site of a not-so-low intensity war. It is a boundary marking an internal space of fear, control and domination over people, while simulatenously allowing for the unrestricted movement of capital and wealth.

For years, around the world, people have been tearing down fences, freeing detainees and fighting for self-determination. A global movement against borders and migration controls is rising. One of many tactics in this movement is the no borders camp - a space for direct action and building community. Join us for a transnational no borders camp on the Mexico/US border. Celebrate global days of action for freedom of movement on the 18th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
