There will be a gathering in front of Calais town hall at 14.30h on
Saturday 1st March. There will be speakers followed by a march through the
town centre. This is a demonstration for freedom, dignity and respect for
all, now.

In Calais there are hundreds of people living in complete destitution
whilst many houses stand empty and abandoned. Every day people are chased
and harassed by police and used as scapegoats by the mayor to cover up the
failures of her own administration. These dehumanising and hostile
attitudes of the authorities of Calais promote violence and racism.

Of course not everybody has these sentiments of mistrust and fear.  Many
Calaisiens are ashamed of seeing others treated in this way and are taking
action. Today we call for solidarity for those who have escaped tyranny
and oppression and come in search of we all want, which is freedom.

Spread the word ! Bring your friends, family, banners and music and join
the after party !
