We invite you to a two-day event (20+) We Host, We Don't Divide! |
Facebook dedicated to the idea of a world without borders, mutual
assistance, and opposition to all manifestations of xenophobia in our
daily lives. --- The first day will be devoted to a discussion about
migration - particularly in the context of the ethnic and cultural
mosaic of Silesia, whose potential was built thanks to economically
motivated migration, and about contemporary struggles for migrant
workers' rights.
On the second day, we encourage you to participate in neighborhood
integration and building understanding between people of different
cultures and nationalities.

On Saturday, we will focus on migration, with particular emphasis on the
economic exploitation of people on the move. Migrants are particularly
vulnerable to labor rights violations. Neocolonialism, by maintaining
vast inequalities between individual regions of the world, creates and
manages resources of cheap labor according to its own needs. Workers
seeking a better life abroad are drawn into capitalist exploitation,
forcing them to work beyond their capacity, for a fraction of their
worth, and often to perform duties that put their health and lives at risk.
The role of the nation-state has been reduced to a taxpayer-funded
administration for global capital, whose primary function is to
safeguard its interests. The primary mechanism enabling this efficient
implementation is the fueling of antagonisms and the effective
management of the "Other figure," especially towards foreigners.
The exploitation of migrants is in no way beneficial to local workers.
The deregulation of the labor market and the unlimited supply of cheaper
labor severely impact the local working class, further fueling the
spiral of resentment and prejudice. On Saturday, we want to discuss how
the uncertain situation caused by the lack of regular residence and the
threat of deportation has become a tool for controlling workers. These
considerations are particularly important for us - residents of Silesia
- because of the place where we live. Throughout its modern history,
Silesia has been a region of intense migration. The prospect of a better
life and dynamic industrialization were a magnet that attracted large
numbers of people from different regions, speaking different languages,
with diverse experiences and traditions.
This diversity has created a close-knit community characterized by
respect for work, class consciousness, and a strong sense of independence.
From this perspective, Upper Silesia seems an inspiring example,
especially in the context of the changes and reorganization of the
modern world.
Growing xenophobia and aggression, militarization, and the threat of
further armed conflicts - these are the dangers we will likely face in
the coming future. However, the coming change also brings with it many
opportunities and hopes. We will dedicate the second day of the weekend
to them - the Neighborhood Intercultural Picnic, an outdoor gathering of
cultures, complemented by music, cuisine, and lively interaction.
Together, we will strive to show what a future without prejudice and
exploitation, based on mutual assistance and respect for humanity and
nature, could look like.
We invite you to participate!
The event is organized by the Silesia Anarchist Federation and the No
Borders Team.
The event is sponsored by 161crew and Zamek Nadaje
