HEY MOVER

A world where all human beings are free to move, and receive equal treatment and equal rights wherever they are. That’s all we’re asking for! For people to be truly free and equal, we need to abolish passport Apartheid. We want to work towards a world where migration is not a privilege, but a right.

What we do

Basically, we are trying to change the world. We are working to change power structures that systematically oppress and exploit people, mainly from the global South. We campaign against the brutal border regime, which is ineffective, harmful and deadly, and against Dutch migration policies, that systematically lock people up and deport them. Alongside campaigning for regular migration opportunities and against violent border policies, we support refugees and migrants transiting towards the EU.

Our goal is to shrink the borders into non-existence. We focus on two sub-goals:

• Freedom of movement. We take action to make it easier for people to move. This includes the removal or relaxing of visa requirements, the increase of opportunities to migrate and the facilitation of irregular migration.
• Equal treatment. Free migration will only help to achieve true equality if migrants have the same rights as locals. This includes social rights, such as access to housing, health care, shelter, education, equal labour rights and political rights such as voting.

Our political work is currently focused on the Netherlands and migration into the EU. We also support organisations working on the EU borders.
