For Refugee Rights! – Protest in front of LaGeSo, October 7th | 3 PM

My right is your right – campaign goes on in front of Lageso

Kundgebung // Theatre // Concerts // Performances // Statements

October 7th | 3 PM |  ‪#‎LaGeSo‬ – Landesamt für Gesundheit und Soziales, Turmstraße 21, 10559 Berlin-Moabit

 

The aim is to organize a gathering in front of the LAGESO as a central place, where Refugees first arrive in Berlin, register and thereby start their existence as Refugees.

For every simple thing Refugees have to visit the LAGESO. So since weeks the Reality in front of the LAGESO is an “emergency situation”. Hundreds of people are going every day to this place. There are people who stay there for more than 3 weeks and waiting for further process.

We want to make the movement My right is your right visible not only to confront the state official’s at LAGESO and raise publicity with our existence, critique and requests – but also give a sign to the newcomers: They have rights, we are not in line with recent political decisions cutting the right to ask for asylum, with the unacceptable conditions of overloaded refugee housing, with new border controls and fences – short: with what they try to sell as a “solution” of the refugee crisis.

Press Release of the Campaign “My Right Is Your Right”

Press Conference for the Campaign and Demonstration

The campaign My Right Is Your Right! invites you

on Saturday, 21.03.2015 at 1:00 pm to a large demonstration at Spreewaldplatz in Berlin

in coordination with the International Day against Racism.

 

For more than two years now refugees and supporters in Berlin have been publicly and visibly fighting against the institutional racism in Germany and Europe, to which so many people are permanently subject in their daily lives. The acute and concrete demands of the refugees are the complete abolition of the Residenzpflicht,a stop to placing people in the Lagers as well as all deportations, and a right to remain, education, working possibilities and to live where one wishes – thus an end to the politically supported isolation of refugees. The campaign as well as the demonstration are directed against these racist practices and will bring the long-term demands of the refugees further into the public realm.

My Right Is Your Right! is a campaign comprised of refugees, creative artists, activists, lawyers, church officials, unionists, clubs and neighborhood initiatives that have now joined together to form a network.  What connects us all is the wish for a stronger political intervention in Berliner refugee policies. We are opening the doors of theaters and other public places for the request for more just policies with regards to refugees. Our demands are not new, rather they are the ones refugees in Germany have already been demanding for decades. For us, this is neither about charity or humanitarian aid. We are not only demanding changes from policy makers, but we want to fight daily racism and exclusion. Our goal is to establish a long-term infrastructure that deals with and works against forms of daily and structural racism. Hence the campaign offers an exchange of a variety of projects and offers: work, education, sleeping places, language courses and donations as well as performances and actions.

Come toegether – right now! My right is your right – Refugees welcome!

The protest against the racist migration and asylum system in Germany and Europe is getting stronger and more visible every day. The selforganized protest of non-citizens, refugees and migrants of the last two years can no longer be ignored.

As a reaction to the events of the last weeks, many people have started to organize and express solidarity, so right now a lot of people are fighting.  They are fighting in different struggles and with different strategies. This has a lot of potential, but sometimes this can also lead to conflicts.

As we are all fighting against existing conditions we want to fight this fight together!
We have a big common aim: The same rights for everybody!
This is why we are inviting you to our weekend in order to develop strategies and perspectives, to connect existing struggles and to make them stronger!
