This coming Sunday, we'll show solidarity with the people that are locked up in immigration detention centers. They are locked up, not because they have committed a crime, but solely because they do not posess the right papers. The solidarity-tour will pass by three detention centres. The first stop will be Kamp Zeist, then we stop at the Zaanse Bajesboten and we'll finish at Uitzetcentrum Schiphol-Oost. Below the latest updates:
Applications:
At this moment spots are filling up fast, so it is decided that there will be another bus going with the tour. There are still a few seats available, so if you want to join, be quick!
Pick-up spots:
The pick-up spot for Amsterdam is the P+R at the Piarco square at Sloterdijk station at 11:00.
The pick-up spot for Utrecht is at the Jaarbeursplein at 12:00.
Be sure to be on time because it's going to be a long day with a full programme so there's no time to wait. There will be asked for a donation on the bus to cover a part of the costs. Be aware that after the tour both busses will stop in Amsterdam, so if you're going to Utrecht by train to get on the bus, buy a singe ticket in stead of a return ticket to Utrecht Central Station.
