WatchtheMed-AlarmPhone is a phone hotline that people in distress can call when trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea. Since October 2014 they have worked on over 2.500 emergency cases.
We, in align with WatchtheMed-Alarm Phone, believe in the Freedom of Movement for All and do not ask for reasons for flight. People who get onto these overcrowded boats and risk their lives have good and many reasons.
As a large transborder network, they oppose how more and more borders are being created all around us and support those who enact their freedom of movement by crossing them. they document all the cases to denounce the violent border-regime that separates human beings from one another in the name of some privileged few in the global north. additionally, the org commemorates the dead and form a political voice that calls for safe passages and the freedom of movement for all.
