Global Border Hacking

Summer, 2005


Three upcoming events, laboratories, actions against migration controls:

No One Is Illegal — five-day march in Canada beginning June 18th

Fadaiat— between Morocco and Spain, June 17–26.

Borderhack— US–Mexican border, August.

From Sans Frontieres: "Our march is directly inspired by Shamim Akhtar, a Pakistani refugee claimant and active member of Solidarity Across Borders. Shamim first proposed the idea of a refugee march to Ottawa in the summer of 2003. Unfortunately, Shamim and her family (including 4 children) were deported in the summer of 2004.

We march almost one year later with Shamim very much in mind, as well as all our other friends and allies who have been removed, detained, forced underground or forced into sanctuary in the past years: Wendy Maxwell, Sergio Loreto, the Cordoza family, the Daschevi family, Zahoor Hussein, Fahim Kayani, Tilo Johnson, Daniel and Irina Isakov, Mohamed Cherfi, Ahmad Nafaa, Ahmed Abdel Majeed, Faraz Abu Zimal, Ali Naqvi, the Ibad family, the Butt family, the Syed family, Dawood Khan, Eduardo Perez, Gorka Salazar, Mourad and Nadia, the Vega family, the Borja family, the Ayoub family, the Ayele family, Sanya Pecelj, Samsu Mia, Amir Kazemian, Kobra and Hassan, Adrian Dragan, Mohammad Mahjoub, Mahmoud Jaballah, Hassan Almrei, Mohamed Harkat, Adil Charkaoui and many, too many, more.

For every arbitrary detention, for every summary deportation, for every minute spent in jail without charge or trial, for ever anxious and dehumanizing day spent waiting for status — all the days, months, years that the government has stolen from us — we will take back minute by minute, with every step, on our march from Montreal to Ottawa. Join us and take back stolen time.
