Summary
This article is the first in a series from the Everywhere Border Project and the Collaborative Research Center for Resilience (CRCR), examining how border processes cause harm.

The piece focuses on how digital infrastructures and border systems threaten human rights and democratic futures, and how communities can resist, reimagine, and renegotiate these systems.
