Today Annie and Elena from the Border Violence Monitoring Network join the show to discuss their work on the borders of the European Union. We discuss the criminalisation of solidarity work, how people on the move are treated by the racist border regime, the impact of climate on the border regime and much more!

If you want to support the show and get it sent direct to your phone a few days early than the public release then support us on Patreon: patreon.com/12rulesforwhat
