We'll Come United Meeting 01. - 03.09.2023 Leipzig
Dear All,
after our meeting in Osnabrück, we want to continue getting together as a network. Our next We'll Come United meeting will take placce from 1. - 3. September in Leipzig at Eisenbahnstraße! We will meet on the weekend 8 years after the march of hope in 2015. Today we are still caught up in an injust world, facing and whitnessing brutal violence and discriminations. We want to get together to exchange our best practices against the injust system and discuss our common actions.
We want to break the state of isolation and built a continuous collective with capacities to act. Everyone who feels connected to We'll Come United or is interested in becoming active in the network is warmly invited. At the meeting we want to look back on the last 8 years of practices, political changes and talk about how we can act together as a network in the future.
In addition to the possibility of deepening current topics such as new migration laws, solidarity asylum, protests against immigration authorities and fights against deportation prisons, there will also be a space for networking, especially for people who are directly affected by the racist policy of deportations, militarized borders and camps.
If you have any questions, special needs or concerns about travelling without papers, don't hesitate to contact us. We will find solutions.
Powerful greetings from Leipzig!
