As long as the US/Mexico border has existed, people having been 
struggling against it. It is a highly militarized, violent boundary 
marking an internal space of strict migration controls while allowing 
for unrestricted movement of capital and wealth. This border exists in a 
global context of apartheid borders and restriction of movement. For 
years around the world people have been tearing down fences, freeing 
detainees and fighting for the rights of migrant people. A global 
movement against borders and migration controls is rising. One of many 
tactics in this movement is the no border camp - a space for direct 
action and building community. Join us for a transnational no border 
camp on the Mexico/US border.

We are currently an informal network of groups and individuals on both 
sides of the border. We are planning a transnational no border action 
camp for the fall of 2007, in the region of Calexico and Mexicali. The 
PGA hallmarks are the basic points of unity for the mobilization.

The camp is intended to be a spectacular intervention in a discourse 
that at times ignores, and at other times justifies, the systematic 
violence, indignity and exploitation experienced by migrants in this 
country. The mobilization will bring many of us together in one place to 
share and learn. It is of equal importance to us that this not be just 
one isolated event that lasts a few days in one specific location. We 
view this mobilization as a process. It is a process of creating an 
anti-capitalist network for freedom of movement. For this mobilization 
to be a success, groups and individuals from a diversity of locales and 
experiences must make this project their own. We hope that others see 
this as an opportunity to build a platform from which this struggle can 
be demonstrated and articulated.

Several Regional gatherings are currently being planned. Send inquiries 
to nobordercamp@gmail.com

Plans for this mobilization came out of the ongoing process of forming 
the deletetheborder network and the "Roots of Resistance" camp hosted by 
the organic collective in San Diego in September 2006.

People's Global Action Hallmarks:

1. A very clear rejection of capitalism, imperialism and feudalism; all 
trade agreements, institutions and governments that promote destructive 
globalisation;
2. We reject all forms and systems of domination and discrimination 
including, but not limited to, patriarchy, racism and religious 
fundamentalism of all creeds. We embrace the full dignity of all human 
beings.
3. A confrontational attitude, since we do not think that lobbying can 
have a major impact in such biased and undemocratic organisations, in 
which transnational capital is the only real policy-maker;
4. A call to direct action and civil disobedience, support for social 
movements' struggles, advocating forms of resistance which maximize 
respect for life and oppressed peoples' rights, as well as the 
construction of local alternatives to global capitalism;
5. An organisational philosophy based on decentralisation and autonomy.
