Folk på Vej

PEOPLE ON THE MOVE – migrant solidarity is a street newspaper produced and published by Community House Copenhagen. The paper was first published in November 2025.

About the street newspaper

The paper has two primary purposes:

• Telling the stories: We write stories (preferably personal ones) about the conditions of migrants in Denmark. We particularly focus on migrant workers who, through building communities, fight to improve their conditions. We also write stories about our vendors – about their life situations and the reasons why they travel here, even though they must live on the streets and have a hard life.
• Creating an income: The paper is only published in print, as it provides a source of income for homeless migrants. Many live on the streets and find it difficult to enter the Danish labour market due to lack of qualifications, lack of documented work experience and discrimination.
  
  

Here you can get a taste of what we write about, and we encourage you and everyone you know to buy the paper when you meet one of our vendors amongst the homeless migrants. It is a support for their survival.

Unfortunately, for the time being, you can only buy the street newspaper with cash. We are working on getting an arrangement with a collective MobilePay, like they have at Hus Forbi, but the bank is not very open to the idea, so it lies a bit in the future. However, a few of our vendors have an account with the Lithuanian bank Revolut.

Vendors can buy the paper at Mariakirken in Istedgade when they are open and at Kompasset at Kirkens Korshær, Drejervej 6, Copenhagen NV (every Tuesday between 10 and 12). We also issue vendor cards here.
