Registration open for the 10th annual conference of the ECIT Foundation on EU citizenship. Debates about citizenship fit uneasily in the current politically divided culture but isn’t that precisely why the fullest EU citizenship is urgently needed?

It's always a good idea to take migration scholars/activists seriously

Remember when we were told that Trump's "mass deportation" agenda would usher in a police state? That terrorizing "migrants" was not going to end with those put in this state category? That acting in solidarity was urgent?
Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.
