The government’s plan to send people seeking asylum to #Rwanda to process their claims:

1. Ignores the fact that v few people seek asylum in the UK compared to other countries

2. Continues with policies that enable people smuggling gangs to profit

HUGE WINS!

The Lords have voted AGAINST some of the outrageous measures in the #PolicingBill protest crackdown.

Thank you for tirelessly writing to MPs, signing petitions & protesting the Bill.

People power works - now let’s keep up pressure on MPs to keep these changes ✊

We continue to act in solidarity with everyone across the world who is living with HIV, and those who have died from a worldwide failure in governments’ duties of care, particularly towards LGBTQIA+ people, especially those who are Black and people of colour. #WorldAIDSDay

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

More than 30 people – including at least 5 children – have reportedly drowned in the Channel after their boat capsized.

I am heartbroken. Please let this be the moment we provide safe routes to welcome refugees to Britain, instead of endlessly whipping up hate and fear.

[Amnesty Int'l NI @AmnestyNI]

Refugees welcome.

Always.

Honoured to join my sisters & brothers from the Sudanese and wider African community in Belfast today to protest the killings and human rights abuses of the #militarycoup in #Sudan.
