Free Movement Association
Free Movement association (Vapaa Liikkuvuus ry, previously Oikeudet ilman rajoja ry (OIR, registered 11.6.2010)) was founded to guarantee migrants’ legal protection. Association supports migrant activism for example by raising funds for relief activities of Free Movement network. Donations are channeled mainly through FM’s counseling activity for migrants living in poverty or uncertain residence permit state. Additionally smaller part of donations are given on the basis of direct requests to the association and through other civil society actors.
Association is also responsible for the economical assets of Signal magazine which is published by network and association. In addition to FM’s counseling and advocacy work the association supports also other migrant activism. It has co-worked for example with Global Clinic of Helsinki and Stop Deportation / Right to live demonstration.
Association’s board assembles every second month. Board is responsible for association’s economy and relief decisions. Association’s annual meeting is held in spring.
