Call taken over from @nobordernl
For years, the government has been pursuing a policy of demolition in the social housing stock. Speculators are buying up houses left and right, thus driving up house prices. The result: you can only find a home if you are rich. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. The government is looking for a scapegoat for the housing crisis and this right-wing government is no exception. The scapegoat: migrants. Don't be misled by this dirty propaganda! Migrants are just as much victims of government policy and the housing shortage as anyone who is not rich.
Let us not be torn apart by the divide and rule politics of the capitalist system. It is high time for widely accessible housing for everyone!
Demonstration: Saturday August 24, 2024, 12:00 No Border Camp Utrecht
The No Border Camp (20 to 25 August) will target both the increasingly repressive Dutch migration policy and developments at the European level, where militarisation of borders, pushbacks and other human rights violations are the order of the day. The new Schoof cabinet is adding plans to lock up more refugees, deport more people, make asylum applications more difficult and severely restrict the right to legal assistance.
Including MiGreat, the Association of Precarious Housing Forms, SOS Humanity, the Transnational Institute (TNI) and Stop Wapenhandel contribute to the camp with workshops. Connections with climate change, racism and women's and trans struggles are also on the program. The camp takes place on a site in the city of Utrecht, between the Mercatorlaan and the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal, north of the Bevrijdingslaan at the Prins Clausbrug next to the P+R Papendorp.
