“Crossing Borders” is an attempt to foster transnational communication, our aim is to consolidate and to extend the migration related networking process in, around and beyond Europe. We do not ignore the differences in realities and struggles in various regions, countries or continents. But we are convinced in the necessity to bridge and communicate these differences – crossing these borders too!. We are committed to a process of “becoming common”, not only by exchanging information and experiences, but much more by fighting against the same global apartheid- and migration regime! And by struggling for the common demands of freedom of movement and the right to stay!

This newsletter will focus to the movements and struggles of migration, taking into account their multiplicity. In each issue we will present manifold protests and campaigns, social and political struggles from different local situations. That’s one reason, why we ask all of you to contribute to this project and to provide -at least in a few sentences –your experiences. But wider participation is crucial for this newsletter on more levels. We follow a multilingual approach and so we need continuous help in translations! It is an Internet based project, but most important in our concept are decentralised printouts, copied and distributed in the various migrants-localities and communities. “Crossing Borders” is an initiative of Frassanito-network and we plan to produce regularly issues at least every three or four months. But it depends also to your feedback and participation! So all of you are invited to support this newsletter, by contributions and distributions.
