In this episode of City Rights Radio, we dive into the effectiveness of human rights laws when it comes to protecting undocumented people. While international treaties and human rights frameworks promise dignity, safety, and fundamental rights for all, how well are these laws actually enforced? Do undocumented people truly benefit from the legal protections on paper, or do systemic barriers render these rights meaningless in practice?

🎙 In this expectation vs. reality episode of City Rights Radio, Yusuf and I (Mohamed Bah) dive into the ways the Dutch exclusion system creates inferiority complexes among undocumented people, stripping us of the continuity of life that so many take for granted. We explore how constant uncertainty, lack of recognition, and systemic barriers make it nearly impossible to build a stable future. But could a City Card be a game-changer? We argue that having such a card could open doors to essential services, jobs, and opportunities, allowing undocumented people to continue their lives—regardless of how the IND handles our cases.

In this episode of City Rights Radio, Dennis, Teferi, discuss the harsh reality of the criminalization of undocumented people in the Netherlands. I don't know if you knew this but , lacking official identification makes people vulnerable to profiling, exclusion, and constant uncertainty in daily life. What happens when the absence of papers turns into a tool for systemic discrimination? And how can we, as citizens of Amsterdam, work together to build a city that is safe and inclusive for all? 🎙 City Rights Radio is a platform amplifying the voices of migrants, undocumented people, and marginalized communities.

Mpanzu Bamenga, who is currently serving as a member of the Tweede Kamer (Dutch House of Representatives), has been a key figure in the fight against racial profiling. In collaboration with Amnesty International and others, he organized a lawsuit challenging the Koninklijke Marechaussee’s discriminatory border checks in the Netherlands. Although the case was lost in court, it led to a significant victory—the Koninklijke Marechaussee has now declared they will no longer engage in ethnic profiling. A major win for justice and human rights! Beyond this legal battle, we explore how a City Card, like those in New York (IDNYC) and New Haven, could enhance safety, provide access to services, and offer recognition for undocumented and marginalized communities in Amsterdam. 🎙 City Rights Radio is a platform amplifying the voices of migrants, undocumented people, and marginalized communities.

In this episode of City Rights Radio, I sit down with Michiel Bot to explore the concept of City Cards and their potential impact. We discuss the origins of the City Card in New Haven and the IDNYC—New York City’s municipal ID examining how they have benefited both undocumented and documented residents. What if Amsterdam had its own City Card? Could it offer greater access to essential services, improve inclusion, and enhance daily life for everyone—regardless of immigration status? 🎙 City Rights Radio is a platform amplifying the voices of migrants, undocumented people, and marginalized communities.
