ABSTRACT
This chapter engages the networks formed around what movements called the “precarious-migrant hypothesis”, which explores the commonalities among apparently distinct populations in the EU: youth with citizenship and youth without it. Drawing from the textual production of these movements, the chapter briefly follows the development of this hypothesis introducing the political-theoretical tradition known as Autonomy of Migration, one of the foundations of this distinct approach to organizing. The “prec-mig” hypothesis refers to activist initiatives working along the axes of precarity and migration, proposing trans-European campaigns and networks through actions, graphics and writings. Ultimately, these efforts led to tactically and theoretically innovative proposals for mobility justice. As such, the notion of precarity expands beyond labor and care debates, intersecting with issues of mobility, migratory status and citizenship.
