no borders gathering 21st-22nd feb bristol

Hi every­one, it’s time to get out your diaries and book your trav­el.…

The Bris­tol No Bor­ders group are host­ing the next net­work-wide No Bor­ders
Gath­er­ing, on Sat­ur­day 21st and Sun­day 22nd Feb­ru­ary at St. Wer­burgh’s
Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­tre here in Bris­tol.

The Gath­er­ing will be a chance to dis­cuss, net­work and plan, and to build
on the dis­cus­sions held at the last net­work-wide gath­er­ing ear­li­er this
year in New­cas­tle. It’s is a col­lec­tive­ly organ­ised event with shared
respon­si­bil­i­ty for con­tent and organ­i­sa­tion, being co ordi­nat­ed this time
by peo­ple in Bris­tol with help from our friends over in South Wales.
Although you don’t have to be active in an exist­ing group to attend and
the gath­er­ing is open, it is a work­ing meet­ing rather than a place to
nec­es­sar­i­ly find out more about the net­work in gen­er­al. For this we
sug­gest con­tact­ing a local group see noborders.org.uk for a list of
con­tacts.

Pro­gramme looks like this so far:
Fri­day 20th evening, Agen­da plan­ning meet­ing, acco­mo­da­tion sort­ing and

No Bor­ders is a net­work of groups strug­gling for the free­dom of move­ment
for all and an end to all migra­tion con­trols. We call for a rad­i­cal
move­ment against the sys­tem of con­trol, divid­ing us into cit­i­zens and
non-cit­i­zens. We demand the end of the bor­der regime for every­one,
includ­ing our­selves, to enable us to live anoth­er way, with­out fear,
racism and nation­al­ism.
