Since 1996, Lunaria has been promoting research on migration flows, information and campaigns to promote the rights of migrant citizens and actions to fight racism and xenophobia. Our campaigns mainly focus on the acknowledgement of active and passive voting right for foreigners and the safeguarding of their civil and social rights. We advocate decision-making on permanence and residence permits to the civil structures, the introduction of ordinary procedures for the regularisation of foreign citizens present in Italy and the closure of the Centres of Identification and Expulsion, which have been created in recent years in Italy.
Since 2009 we have been dogwatching, with Annual reports, racism within media, politics and society.
