We want to invite you to the third meeting of the network „Europe for all“ (working title) on January 16/17, 2016, in Berlin. The gathering aims to be a space for grassroot groups who are involved in the struggles of eu-internal migrants against racism, exploitation and precarization to exchange ideas and experiences and to organize translocally. More than 10 groups focusing on different issues like legal advice for workers, anti-romaism, social benefits, housing and police repression have organized in this activist network so far (see europafueralle.net). The focus of the second meeting will be on resistance against exploitation, precarious housing, on the question how to bring together those interconnected struggles and about the role of the left in those struggles. We also want to discuss how to overcome the divide between good and bad migration, labour migrants and refugees, citizens and foreigners. We want to exchange experiences and discuss ideas in order to become active at and beyond the local level.
We welcome antiracist, left and emancipatory groups and individuals who are active in the struggles of eu-internal migrants and also those who want to get involved in the future.
