Travel should be a human right

I understand how we got here and have a good sense of the complexity of the problem (and no real solution)  — but I feel strongly in my gut that people should be able to see the world if they choose to.

This quote (in this paper about the origin of the Passport) resonates deeply.

…the universalization of the passport meant abandoning the old idea that the rights of free movement belonged to everyone and, instead, instituted a system that ranks human mobility based on national origins. Theoretically, it is proposed that attention to these “lowly” practices of mobility governance allows us to track the afterlives of race in the international order.
