Introducing The Solidarity Without Borders Campaign

with love and solidarity... | 25.02.2008 12:08 | Migration | Social Struggles | Zapatista | World

Dear comrades,

We are writing to introduce the Solidarity Without Borders Campaign, a
coordinated, sustained, three-pronged campaign in solidarity with
immigrant and indigenous struggles across North and Latin America.

Anti-authoritarian groups from across the Northeast and Midwest USA have
come together to form the Solidarity Without Borders Group.

This working group came out of the recent Consulta of the Northeast
Anarchist Network (NEAN) and Midwest Action Network (MAN). The proposal
was initiated by the Boston Anti-Authoritarian Movement (BAAM) and NYC
Local Union of the North East Federation of Anarchist Communists (NEFAC),
and has been joined by anarchists from over a dozen other towns and cities.

The campaign emerges in light of the escalating war on indigenous
communities in Mexico and immigrant communities in the United States: In
light of military and paramilitary aggression against the peoples of
Oaxaca and Chiapas, in light of Plan Mexico and the Security & Prosperity
Partnership, in light of recent attacks on immigrants here in the USA, and
in light of the corporate invasion and displacement of their communities.

The campaign arose in response to calls to action from the Zapatista Army
of National Liberation (EZLN), from the Council of the Indigenous Peoples
of Oaxaca-Ricardo Flores Magon (CIPO-RFM), and from New York City's
Movement for Justice in El Barrio (MJB).

Please join us in Solidarity Without Borders, endorse this campaign, and
begin to organize within your communities and alongside us.

For Solidarity Without Borders!


Our Call To Action:

We are calling for a coordinated, sustained, three pronged campaign by the
anarchist movement in the United States to:

1. confront repression of our comrades, shut down Plan Mexico and SPP, and
stop the invasion of rebel territory in Mexico

2. confront repression of immigrant communities in our own cities and
regions

3. confront the corporations invading communities both here in the
northeast and south of the border

* We recognize, with the Zapatistas, that these struggles are intertwined
and none of these things can be won without the others *

Our Goals:

1. To take action at US government offices, Mexican consulates, and
offices of related corporations across the region.

2. To support local and national actions in defense of immigrants, with
the ultimate goal of shutting down all ICE detention centers and offices.

3. To support the International Campaign in Defense of El Barrio being
launched by Movement for Justice in El Barrio.

4. To raise resources and supplies, if and when needed, for our comrades
in Chiapas, Oaxaca, and El Barrio.

5. To send a delegation to Southern Mexico, in the event of invasion or
escalating repression, to stand alongside our brothers and sisters.

Our Next Steps:

1. Local groups send delegates to the new Solidarity Without Borders Group.

2. Local groups make contact with local organizations in their area, join
local coalitions and support their struggles.

3. Local groups support other organizations and actions with common goals
in their communities.

4. Local groups visit government and corporate offices, delivering letters
and ultimatums to those responsible.

5. Local groups plan and implement creative direct actions, beginning no
later than May Day, sooner in the event of invasion or escalating
repression.
