Alarmphone publishes book on 10th anniversary

Alarmphone, an organization that provides independent support for people crossing the Mediterranean, has published a book to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

This month, October 2024, the Alarm Phone turns 10 years old.

It said “For 3,650 days and nights, we have been on shift. During these shifts, we were alerted to over 8,000 boats from all corners of the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic region or the English Channel, directly by the people on the move or their relatives and friends.

“For our tenth anniversary, we publish this book. In it, we share articles, analyses, interviews, and poems. We offer an account of how the Alarm Phone started and how it developed. We highlight the struggles against criminalization and the struggles for memory in the form of CommemorActions, alongside families and friends of the missing. We present sister projects of our network and show maps, graphics, and photos.” Together, Alarm Phone said these fragments speak for “our common perspective: We will continue with our solidarity on the routes and build and extend infrastructures for freedom of movement.

“No border lasts forever. Solidarity will win!”
