OUR VOICES S7E3 - The beginning of Amsterdam City Rights

In this episode, we dive into the Amsterdam City Rights movement—a unique bottom-up movement in Amsterdam fighting for the rights of undocumented people in the city. We’ll talk with Hidaya Nampiima, Ugandanhuman rights advocate, once the most famous undocumented person and today one of the most outspoken refugee activists in Amsterdam, and Savannah Koolen, founder and director of Here to Support and with more than ten years experience in advocating for undocumented people’s rights.

Amsterdam City Rights is a coalition of people with and without residency permits, created in 2018 from a grassroot community protesting against the unjust asylum system and xenophobic migration policies. The community meets twice a month to discuss common projects and ideas, participates in demonstrations, conferences and workshops. Amsterdam City Rights has been creating many projects and today manages the City Rights Radio and the City Rights App, with the help of the NGO Here to Support.

This is Our Voices, a series about the stories of different migrant movements that stood the test of time and made history in Amsterdam. Hosted by Mohamed Bah, produced by Riccardo Biggi and brought to you by Here to Support, and supported by Action for Visibility, an alliance of Amsterdammers committed to social justice.

This is more than just a conversation—it’s a call to action!
