aight so european leaders got together to make decisions about the refugee situation and the bottom line is 1) refugees are gonna be detained outside of europe, 2) the detainment centers are actually named “kontrollierte zentren” in german which is not ominous or in incredibly bad taste at all, 3) private rescuers are gonna be charged for rescuing drowning refugees, 4) we pay countrues such as turkey or libya a lot of money to keep refugees out of europe, 5) outer european borders will be strengthened and frontex (border control) will receive more funding
so in short uhhh europe decided on killing and locking up more refugees; fun!

Please don’t ignore this.
The European Union is killing refugees through neglect, and planning to put them in prison camps in Turkey, Libya, Morocco etc. If you wanna help, you can donate for example to: Mission Lifeline sea rescue, HelpRefugees, RefugeeSupport, the UN Refugee Agency, Solidarity Now in Greece, Open Migration in Italy, BetterPlace in Germany, Care4Calais in France and Belgium, RefugeeAction in the UK.
SupportRefugees lists ways to become active as a volunteer across Europe.
Support FRONTEXIT to let European leaders know we do not condone their border politics!
Keep informed and keep vigilant, for example on Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch. Please spread this and add any good links you have. Thank you!
While the US steals refugee children and sends them to foster agencies that will place them with white conservative Christians while sending their parents back to quite possibly death, the EU is sending them to quite possible death, too, but in a different way.
Governments suck. Let’s ignore them and smuggle refugees to Canada.
Canada does have a lot of space… but has also had issues with racial politics (because who doesn’t?).
