Dear Friends,
Below you will find the links to the multi-lingual calls as well as a
first poster of the project “Watch The Med Alarm Phone”. We were able
to gain the backing of a considerable number of supporters, including
well-known people, in different countries so that the transnational
character of the project is emphasised. We will call for more
signatures until at least the 5th of October in order to make the
alarm-phone further known in social movements and to thereby also
safeguard the project politically. On or around the 5th of October
small actions are planned to gain more publicity and we then also
seek to increase our visibility in public and in the media.
With respect to practical-technical matters, the project is in a
testing phase at the moment with multi-lingual shift-teams working in
different cities. As announced in the call, the alarm-phone will be
activated as of the 10th of October and we will then circulate the
number through our contacts in the migrant- and refugee communities
in important transit-countries. As of that moment we will expect the
first calls from boatpeople in distress at sea, particularly as all
political developments suggest that shipwrecks will increase at the
southern edge of fortress Europe.
And we repeat: the project looks for and needs further contributors
on all practical levels, from technical assistance, documentation and
translation, to phone shift work.
