Freedom of Movement: Why we need open borders

Page 32

CONCLUSION This pamphlet is aimed at persuading, inspiring and mobilising activists and campaigners behind a vision of what a different world could look like. Only by starting to free our imaginations can we begin to really see how things could be otherwise.

The next step is down to you. Campaigning, protesting, discussing and more generally ‘spreading the word’ can really change attitudes, and can lay the path for a different sort of world. If you agree with us, get involved and get active. Change will only come about when sufficient people demand it, loudly enough and for long enough.

On its own, though, vision is not sufficient. We need to discuss and debate, both with those who tend to agree with us, and those who have genuine concerns about our vision. In so doing, we will make our

arguments more effective and begin to build the movement necessary for the radical transformation we require.
