Migreat

Migration should not be a privilege. It should be a human right. Human movement can and should be safe and accessible. A world where the place you are born decides the life you will lead is an unjust world. When migration becomes a possibility for people from the global South, it can become an indispensable force in the fight for racial justice and global equality. It can give people the opportunity to increase their income staggeringly, develop new skills and support their communities at home. We want to work towards a world where migration is not a privilege, but a right. MiGreat believes people need to be able to move. Our mission is to challenge the right to exclude and create opportunities for migration, especially from the global South towards the EU. We campaign against the brutal border regime, which is ineffective, harmful and deadly. Alongside campaigning for regular migration opportunities and against violent border policies, we support refugees and migrants transiting towards the EU who are left to fend for themselves. Borders have become a tool to exclude and segregate based on nationality, skin colour and religion. Predominantly white, rich countries systematically violate human rights in order to keep ‘unwanted’ people out, or to keep the ‘unwanted people’ that are in undocumented and rightless. Our job is to expose the abuses that happen on EU borders, mobilise activists to demand justice and provide meaningful alternatives to anti migration policies. We have three core goals that are the basis of all our projects and campaigns- Legalise migration opportunities for refugees and economic migrants- Stop deterrence policies, designed to damage and disencourage (prospective) migrants- Provide humanitarian aid to people on the move in or on their way to Europe We do not take government funds.
