[National J&P Network @NJandPNetwork]

Young adults on the panel are asked how faith has shaped their politics. Several refer to Catholic Social Teaching...

➡️ "Activism and my faith are completely intertwined..."

➡️ "I strongly believe in a preferential option for the poor and the Common Good..." #JustPolitics2024

The future in safe hands right here 🥰

‘We bear witness to hostility.

We bear witness to a tiny act of love,
This is how we rebel.
And this is how we win.’

Words to hang onto and take into our hearts.

Faith in Action Volunteer Hannah details a visit to the West Mids launch of the @CIRefugeesUK Final Report.

An interesting read, especially with all that's in the news currently surrounding the #Rwanda plan: https://t.co/WZj74kn6Rs

Threatening to forcibly deport people seeking safety thousands of miles away to an unsafe country is #PlaneCruelty✈️💔

Add your name to tell the Prime Minister to abandon the #RwandaBill and create safe, organised routes to claim asylum ✍️👇

[Asylum Matters @AsylumMatters]

Last night marked a truly dark moment in British history.

In defiance of international law and the Supreme Court, Government passed the #RwandaBill to dehumanise and violently deport sanctuary seekers to an unsafe place.

We will still #FightTheAntiRefugeeLaws 🧡✊
