French-English Border Struggle and Solidarity
Through the years, thousands have waited, often for months, struggling to survive, trying to cross the English channel at Calais, France, to Dover, England, in hope of a better life. They are met with harsh living conditions, police brutality, and state repression… And it’s all because of BORDERS...
What is the situation at the French-English border? How do people live and how do they try to cross the English channel? What kind of policies and political responses are at play that deny people the right of entry? What groups provide aid to those in need? And, what can we ourselves do to help?
Jointly, we will examine and discuss these questions. To set the stage, the facilitator will first talk about the situation at the border. After which, we explore these matters together, from providing aid to border tech to the No Borders movement, and much more.

The formal education system affects us all. Not only are we forced to attend schools growing up, but academic research shapes our governments, our news, and how we view the world around us. As much as many of us want to believe in the promise of institutional education, the sad fact is that our schools and universities are undemocratic and elitist. They perpetuate inequalities instead of giving people the tools to fight them. This world is fucked.
Here at Radical Sunday School, though, we know that another world is possible. Everyone should be able to direct their own learning, to grow together with their communities, and to live as though they’re already free. There are countless examples of movements already putting these ideas into practice. This collective is trying to follow in their footsteps, organizing to explore new ways of learning based on principles of autonomy, mutual aid, and egalitarianism.
This is not intended to be a course that you would have to follow all the way through. Jump in and out whenever you like. Sessions will be held every Sunday at Joe's Garage.
Doors open at 17.30, we start sharp at 18.00!
