Recordist's notes

A lot of collectives for rights for sans papiers protest against the violence of Belgian migration policies, joining the Transnational Migrants’ Struggle "to make this May 1st a day for the freedom, the power and dignity of migrants. A day of strike against the institutional racism that supports exploitation and reproduces patriarchal violence." https://www.facebook.com/events/941810446581735/ https://www.transnational-strike.info/2021/03/24/may-1st-call-for-a-transnational-migrants-struggle/
