Accompany the Asylum March Sweden, June 16- August 16

A march is organized from Swedens most southern city, Malmö, to the capital, Stockholm by asylum seekers to raise awereness around the issue of right to asylum. The march is planned to take a month, but will take on participants for a shorter amount of time as well.

The organizers are a bit worried of being bothered by far right and extreme right groups during the march and you are therefore invited to accompany the march, thus showing solidarity and providing a sense of security to the asylum seekers.

The basic idea is to join the march and provide a protective presence. Before the start of the march there will be efforts to provide a basic nonviolence training, it might be possible to do this for those joining the march along the way.

So if you are interested to know more details, or you are thinking of joining the march, please show your interest by sending an email to niclas.persson@lsu.se.

Practical details such as housing and food is still being worked out. For the timeschedule see http://www.asylstafetten.se/kommer-vi-till-din-stad/. Some possibilities being looked into are sleeping in tents or staying at churches along the way.
