No Borders No Nations No Prisons
An Invitation To The Gatwick No Border Camp 2007
From 19th to 24th September 07 we will gather at
Gatwick Airport for
the first No Border Camp in the UK. This camp will be
a chance to work
together to try and stop the building of a new
detention centre, and to
gather ideas for how to build up the fight against the
system of
migration controls.
Gatwick Aiport - The Border Point
Gatwick is a border in the middle of Britain. People
arrive here
everyday. People are forcibly deported from here
everyday. It is a
place where people are imprisoned for unlimited
lengths of time without
trial, where people are forced to hide underground and
be invisible,
where people are treated as criminals for the 'crime'
of crossing the
border.
In Britain, the government has recently announced its
intention to
build a new detention centre, near Tinsley House,
another detention
centre at Gatwick airport. This will be another in a
long line of
barbarous prisons across the world, imprisoning people
who migrate.
Unless we stop it from being built.
Not far from Gatwick there are other border
fortifications: the
immigration reporting centre at Croydon, the airline
companies who
charter deportation flights and the ID Interview
centre in Crawley. And
a few miles away are the border posts at Dover and
Folkstone, where
fear of detection by the border police forces people
to risk their
lives hiding under lorries, or in suffocating
containers.
While the physical borders get fortified, governments
also tighten up
the internal controls: from international databases to
video
surveillance, biometric ID cards to electronic
tagging. Just recently,
the UK government has announced the introduction of
the Sirene System.
This will grant Britain access to the SIS (Schengen
Information
System), a EU wide police database for refugees and
migrants, planned
to be extended to keep protesters from moving around.
A Tactics Laboratory
How does daily life, from the need to work for
survival to the welfare
system, reinforce these borders? How can we fight
against the common
acceptance of borders, the idea of an inside and
outside? How can we
claim freedom of movement as a basic right? How do we
assert our
ability to decide whether to go or stay, according to
our needs and
desires, not the needs of the state or the economy?
How can we escape
control, and start building a movement powerful enough
to challenge the
divisions between people?
We need to share knowledge with those who have broken
these borders,
the hackers who escape control, those who survive
without work and
money, those who fight the detention system , those
who question
identities, those who have learnt to organise
themselves without
hierarchy or divisions.
Camp(aign)ing Against Borders
This camp is continuing the tradition of the No Border
camps across the
world since the late 1990s, and like the camps taking
place this year
in the Ukraine in August and on the US/Mexican border
in November. It
will be a space to share information, skills,
knowledge and
experiences. A place to plan actions together against
the system of
borders which divides us.
We are aware that the struggles for "no borders" reach
far beyond "open
borders". Without borders the idea of states will
become obsolete,
without states the national economies will be history.
In a world
without borders, nobody will ask for papers anymore.
The camp will also be a laboratory of political and
practical
self-organisation. The camp will consist only of
people's contributions
to this. We are aware of the borders which divide
ourselves from each
other, be it sex, class, race, nationality, or
whatever. The border
camps are experiments in how to overcome these
artificial and
separating identities.
No Borders
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.
We move, we meet. We talk, we fight.
Come camp with us.
