A Resistance Movement Against the Racist Danish ‘Ghetto’ Laws

'Following our recent debate Politics of Spatial Segregation that shed light on racist Danish housing policies and the notion of structural discrimination co-hosted with CAMP – Center for Arts on Migration Politics in Copenhagen on 22 March, Margarida Waco from The Funambulist met with the two co-founders of the association Almen Modstand [Common Resistance], Fatma Tounsi and Marie Northroup, for a conversation about current legislation and the founding pillars of the association. The starting point of the conversation was a new strategy to rid Denmark of a parallel society by 2030 presented by the Danish Government in March 2018. To counteract years of systemic discrimination and recent policy, Fatma Tounsi and Marie Northroup came together with a handful of activists from various housing associations to join forces and create a resistance movement against the racist ‘Ghetto’ laws.' -- The Funambulist Podcast
