The Migration Scholars' Global Solidarity and Resistance Network is an international group of scholars whose research and writings have centered on various aspects of migration, migrants, refugees, processes of mobility and immobility, geographic, geopolitical, and ideological borders and boundaries, understanding people’s experiences of migration, exile, displacement, dispossession, and other processes related to that experience, the political economy of migration regimes, control, bureaucratization, and criminalization, and more.  

Given our collective knowledge, we understand our obligation to migrants and to the world at large to speak out against the dehumanization of all those who flee danger, desert intolerable conditions, or simply seek to make better lives for themselves and their loved ones, without regard for the borders and other barriers to their freedom of movement. Thus, we are committed to joining migrants' struggles to make a more humane world for all and to migration scholarship that develops and communicates the ways in which migrants are part of our collective struggles to build a better world.

In the face of attacks on the right to have rights and the right to life, we the undersigned need to continue and strengthen our efforts to build solidarity, organization, resistance, and social movements for social and economic justice.
