Attempts by states to control the movement of people are a recent phenomena and lead only to criminalisation, apartheid and death. People are divided into those with and without documents, workers are divided into those with and without rights, and countries are divided into a strict hierarchy of wealth. Thousands die as they try to cross borders, as the conditions of detention become intolerable or as the threat of return to unbearable conditions get closer. Selective inclusion and notions of “illegality” are methods to divide and control us all. No One Is Illegal!We support FREEDOM MOVEMENT and the RIGHT TO REMAIN for all.

Bristol No Borders support all those in struggle against borders; against incarceration, particularly detention centres; against exploitation of workers, particularly “illegal” workers. We challenge the concept of borders and the systems that maintain them. We work to develop spaces of solidarity, resistance and unity.
