TRANSNATIONAL DEMO FOR FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT AND THE ABOLITION OF
> MIGRATION CONTROLS. Calais, Saturday 27th June 2009.
>
> In Calais there are around 800-1000 migrants at any one time that are
> trying to cross the Channel, under constant harassment from the police.
>
> These migrants are harassed because they do not have the right papers,
> or in many cases no papers at all - they are 'sans-papier'.
>
> These 'sans-papier' in Calais are only the tip of the iceberg: it is
> estimated that there are over 200,000 sans-papier in France, 1 million
> in the UK, and up to 7 million in Europe as a whole.
>
> All sans-papier face the same battle - to live and work without
> exploitation, harassment and fear of arrest and deportation.
>
> NoBorders calls for a world without papers, where everyone lives where
> they choose.
>
> The route of the demo is the reverse of the walk that many migrants in
> Calais make on a daily basis - from Coquelles, where they are detained,
> to the lighthouse, where there is a daily food distribution.
>
> We call on all individuals and groups that struggle for the rights of
> migrants to sign this call and mobilise for the demo.
>
> The demo is part of a NoBorder camp that is taking place in Calais from
> 23rd to 29th June (http://calaisnoborder.eu.org).
>
> The demo will start at 10am from the lighthouse on Boulevard des Alliés.
