Tuesday March the 8th, the charity and volunteer group
Better Days for Moria will organise a peaceful protest in the Moria camp, in the island of Lesbos, at 3pm, in response to Europe's decision to close the borders for refugees and asylum seekers in the Balkans.
Journalists are very welcome to join and document the march, as well as to interview volunteers and refugees to get their opinions on the situation.
They are expecting over 1,000 people to attend.
They want to send the message to the world that they do not agree with this European policy and that the refugees are human beings asking for help who should not be pushed aside and ignored.
If you, your colleagues or anyone else you know will be in Lesvos tomorrow, you're welcome to come by:

More on Moria:
WELCOME TO MORIA
Moria is a transit camp and registration point for refugees arriving on the island of Lesvos from Turkey. Better Days for Moria is a group of individuals who have come from far and wide to improve the humanitarian situation in the camp. We have set up our own services right next to the official registration camp: a place to make people feel welcome and to give out aid such as dry clothes, food and hot tea.
We are one of the many grassroots operation groups working in Lesvos where everyone takes the reigns collaboratively. Our progress has been impressive and inspiring - we have come so far since the disastrous situation in October! The common goal among the volunteers is to bring a sense of humanity and care to the difficult journey these people are experiencing. We are always looking for more good souls to join our team.
You just need to bring some kindness, some love and a hard working attitude with you!
