The platform for a world without racism is part of that noborder-network since december 2000 and the caravan was planned on the meetings of that platform.

For the caravan, the highlight of the G8 protest was, without a doubt, the demonstration for migrant's rights on July 19th, but also the demonstrations with up to 200,000 people.

 Static Caravans
The Caravans was a female gospel group popular during the 1950s and 1960s that launched the careers of a number of artists: Albertina Walker, Bessie Griffin, Cassietta George, Dorothy Norwood, Inez Andrews and Shirley Caesar.
Walker was the featured singer on the records that the first version of the Caravans made, which had the measured style typical of artists influenced by Roberta Martin.
At their height in the late 1950s the Caravans combined the energetic, agile alto of Shirley Caesar on songs such as "I'm Not Tired Yet" with the powerful contralto of Inez Andrews on "Mary Don't You Weep." Bessie Griffin joined the group in 1953, but left after a year.
