No Borders Ireland Summer 2011 gathering 26th and

No Borders campaigns struggle alongside those effected for freedom of movement, for the freedom for all to stay in the place which they have chosen, against repression and and the many controls which multiply the borders everywhere in all countries. This gathering is working towards establishing a network of individuals and grass root organisations within Ireland and abroad who are working on the questions of migrants and asylum seekers.

No Borders!

With feedback from an initial call for interest, the event will take place at Seomra Spraoi, located in Dublin, on Friday the 26th and Saturday the 27th of August. Proposals and requests for content during the two days so far include: Information on campaigns in Ireland Presentations from migrant rights campaigns in Europe Presentation on the activites of border security service Frontex, and activities in opposition.
