Catherine Woollard- Everyone has an obligation to do what they can in the face of hostile policies, be it the Danish model, the UK model, or the 1930s model; none of these is new. There was resistance before, and there will be resistance now and in the future, in all forms. #MMR2025
One thing the Trump regime has done is eliminate the oversight bodies where complaints could be lodged in case of abuse, so now the community agents are taking these stories of what is happening.- @pedroconsafos.bsky.social #MMR2025
Recently, we've focused on pushing back on migrant roundups. So, we have community patrols to inform people of their rights, defend them, and document what is happening. #MMR2025
The work we do primarily is to inform people of their constitutional rights when interacting with state agents, and also to be able to share that information with other people in their circles.- @pedroconsafos.bsky.social

Economic realities play a major role, and we can expect governments to use migration as a response, but my question is whether this will change the narrative on migration. You can do that quietly while remaining very vocal against migration.- Carlos Vargas @cvar-sil.bsky.social #MMR2025
Catherine Woollard- In Europe, we have every single state desperately trying to bring in people to meet labour shortages, but also hostility toward migrants and refugees and promises of anti-migrant policies. We have politicians making promises they cannot or do not intend to keep. #MMR2025
As storytellers, we have enormous power, and many groups are underrepresented or misrepresented in migration stories. Too often, it is governments and politicians who shape the narrative, and we need to give people the space to speak in their own voice. #MMR2025
Migration is often framed as a simple question of coming or going, but when you sit with people, you realize there are complex layers. As a storyteller, you need to understand the structure that leads people to make different choices. -Jacqueline Baylon
