Hundreds of refugees and migrants, many of whom are under 18 are
sleeping out in the cold weather in Calais; with no shelter, no blankets,
nothing. This is the result of the French Immigration minister Besson's
policy of destroying the migrants camps together with the peoples few
possessions. New shelters are destroyed as well, and squat evicted. People
sleeping under bridges have had their blankets confiscated or sprayed with
chemicals so they cannot be used anymore.
The associations and charities cannot cope with such a humanitarian
catastrophe. Activists have been working in solidarity with those
without papers, and do not want to replicate the work of charities, or
spend our energies trying to minimise the damage done by the state. We
want to take political action and call for all to provide support in whatever way
they can. Donate, come to Calais, take action in your local area; for more

*This is a real emergency.... the weather has turned and the state has
escalated it's repressive regime on those without papers.*
