From organising vigils for those killed by the EU’s border regime; to targetting arms companies profiting from the militarisation of borders; to reclaming public space with posters, banners and artistic interventions; to disrupting decision-making and lobbying events with occupations, noise demos and creative protests – there are hundreds of ways to take action against Frontex and the system it represents.

  • Flyer distributions
  • Blockades

  • Infotours
