Abstract

This article posits border abolition as a radical alternative to the Anthropocene. It convenes a group of eleven activists, organizers, scholars, practitioners, educators, and storytellers to discuss their work building cross-border solidarities along the US-Mexico border and in US immigration detention, Puerto Rico, Ghana, and the Bengal Delta. Participants provide critical analysis of the origins of environmental injustice and border violence and discuss how a confluence of ecological crisis, environmental racism, and border militarization since the 1980s disproportionately impacts BIPOC and queer/trans communities and exacerbates migrant precarity and displacement worldwide. Participants share ways they have built alternatives to border and ecological violence through migrant accompaniment, legal and policy advocacy, divestment activism, storytelling, education, and sustainability projects. The discussion is organized around three key themes: environmental injustice, racism, and borders; strategies adopted by organizers to build environmental and migrant justice; and visions of border abolition.

关于环境不公正和废除边界的圆桌会议

这篇文章认为废除边界是人类世的一种激进的替代方案。它召集了一个由11名活动家、组织者、学者、从业者、教育工作者和讲故事者组成的小组，讨论他们在美墨边境和美国移民拘留所、波多黎各、加纳和孟加拉三角洲建立跨境团结的工作。与会者对环境不公正和边境暴力的起源进行了批判性分析，并讨论了自20世纪80年代以来，生态危机、环境种族主义和边境军事化如何对BIPOC和酷儿/跨性别社区产生不成比例的影响，并加剧了全球移民的不稳定和流离失所。参与者分享了他们如何通过移民陪伴、法律和政策倡导、撤资行动、讲故事、教育和可持续发展项目来建立边境和生态暴力的替代方案。讨论围绕三个关键主题组织：环境不公正、种族主义和边界；组织者为建立环境和移民正义而采取的战略；以及废除边界的愿景。
