The attempts by states to control the movement of people leads only to criminalisation, apartheid and death. People are divided into those with and without documents, workers divided into those with and without rights, and countries divided into a strict hierarchy of wealth. Thousands die as they try to cross borders, as the conditions of detention become unbearable or as the threat of return to unbearable conditions get closer. Selective inclusion and illegality are methods to divide and control us all. No One Is Illegal!


We support FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT and the RIGHT TO REMAIN for all

Migrants are not victims to be pitied, but a movement of strength that is escaping from the global practices of capture and control, even if to be confronted by new controls. It is the vital space where a post-national anti-capitalist politics is articulated. The precarious nature of migrants lives is an example of how the bosses of the world would like to make the vast majority of us. Their struggles are those that we will all have to take up for ourselves too.

No Borders London support all those in struggle against borders, against their incarceration in detention centres, against their deportation, against their super-exploitation as ‘illegal’ workers. We work to develop spaces of solidarity where resistance and life can be developed.

London is a global city with a fantastic history of migration and struggle. No Borders London calls for a continuation of this politics and life, against a politics of division between the settled and the latest migrants.

We support the call from the European Social Forum in Athens for common actions in support of these struggles.
