f.Lottine - Maritime protest for freedom of movement

Dear friends and comrades,

65 people saved, 3 children died, 1 person still missing. This is the toll from a rescue operation just some days ago, adding up to the 32,000 people that went missing in the Mediterranean sea since 2014.

To resist the current status quo and the world that is normalizing it, f.Lotta was founded earlier this year to occupy and repoliticize the central Mediterranean sea.

f.Lotta is part of a transnational chain of actions to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the summer of migration when in September 2015 people on the move showed us how to defy borders, how to turn freedom of movement from concept to practice.

Parallel to the main action south of Lampedusa, several decentralized protests will take place all over Europe and the world, as so in Berlin on the 13th of September. 

Come by and join our protest from the waterside!

If you or your collective want to participate on boat or otherwise, please reach out to us in advance to f_lotta@inventati.org.

In solidarity!
