This article addresses refugee struggles for common futures in the everyday that result from the organisation of everyday life under condi tions of structural, cultural (Galtung and Fischer 2013) and ordinary violence (Das 2006;Dilts et al. 2012) within the context of the coloniality of migra tion and necroborders (Gutirrez Rodrguez 2018, 2023).We approach this issue through a colabouring effort and critical discourse analysis of digital archives of Women in Exile and The Caravan, focusing on two sites of polit ical organising: namely, of (a) the Lager and (b) the Street.We examine the way rexistance (Semprtegui 2021) is articulated under effects of the negation of rights, instilled through asylum and migration control policies.Further, the article argues that common futures represent more than a prefigurative political act.Rather, it is an ontological condition that informs political and everyday practices of a future to come.Through the work of these activists' groups, demands for human rights are complicated, challenged, resignified, and coupled to the immediate potential and material realization of common futures.
