Undocumented workers occupy the National Museum of Immigration

📅 7 October 2010 📍 France

Around 500 undocumented workers occupied the entrance hall and steps of the Cité nationale de l’histoire de l’immigration in Paris. They demanded that authorities honor commitments to regularize workers who had taken part in a long strike. Choosing a museum housed in a former colonial exhibition building made the action especially resonant: migrants used a state institution dedicated to immigration history to insist on recognition as workers and political actors.
