We are the open assembly against border violence Lesvos.
The assembly came together in May 2022 in response to the ongoing pushbacks happening from the island of Lesvos. We do not only focus on pushbacks, but on border violence more generally, for example we stand against the use of detention centres, surveillance, the criminalisation of solidarity and migration itself. We are a non-hierarchical self organised assembly, and we take all decisions collectively.
We meet to exchange information about and prepare actions against pushbacks. We understand ourselves as having a clear political perspective on this phenomenon, but as an open assembly we do not have any single ideological identity.
We prepare actions, public interventions and info-sessions, to bring the topic to the attention of (local) society.
