Geript van Facebook:
This weekend an international meeting of refugees, migrants and activists was held in Amsterdam. After Brussels, Berlin, Rome and Freiburg, this was the fifth meeting to talk about plans for a campaign around the European elections in May and the migration summit in Brussels in June.
People came from Belgium, France, Italy and different places of Germany. Also a big group from We Are Here attended together with various groups and activists from The Netherlands. The meetings had the challenge of translating into different languages, but in the end a lot was discussed. On Sunday the working-groups were scheduled, so the sessions took place in much smaller groups.
The venue had an amazing bar and kitchen and Rampenplan, assisted by We Are Here, provided us with great food. In the evening we talked about our experiences around refugees and their protests in the different countries and also we made music and had a lot of fun.
On Saturday evening we visited the Vluchtgarage, where the group invited us for special tea and told the visitors the story of We Are Here. On Sunday a smaller delegation visited the Vluchthaven, where they did several interviews for a radio program.
It was a successful meeting and a great way of creating contacts between people in different European countries fighting the same European policies. Now it is time to start working on the campaign from The Netherlands. We will update you soon about the plans and ideas.

INTERNATIONAL PROTEST MARCH AND ACTIONS IN BRUSSELS
In the weekend of February 15 and 16, an international meeting took place in Amsterdam to talk about an international campaign.
The following became clear:
- Preparations continue for a protest march from Strasbourg to Brussels (via Luxemburg).This march will carry the slogan March to Freedom
- The idea is that the march will start on May 18/19 in
Kehl/Strasbourg. Around the weekend of May 29/30/31 the march should arrive in Schengen. A symbolic city because of the Schengen treaty. On June 21 the march should arrive in Brussels.
- From June 22 til 29 there will be an action week in Brussels, during the EU migration summit on June 26 and 27 in Brussels.
- There is a website / blog with more information:

- In The Netherlands we will soon have a meeting to discuss what we will do from here with regards to the campaign and what role We Are Here will play. For sure we will take part in the actions in Brussels. Also we are thinking of the possibility join part of the march. And we will mobilise for the campaign.
