Through fundraising and direct action, we stand in solidarity with all migrants. We build on a proud history of queer solidarity to say: no one is illegal.
it would be easy to say that Socialism With Policing Characteristics has no place within the movement, but unfortunately this is ahistorical - the labour party has never been at all antagonistic to the police, the armed forces or the security state
we’re so sorry everyone - we’ve had to call this off since we didn’t have enough people to carry out fundraising safely. we’re so sorry if anybody was planning on turning up late, but we hope to do this again in the next couple of weeks
this sunday (10th) we will be at the Quayside in Newcastle, to fundraise for the Stansted 15 and talk to everyone about migrants' rights and border abolition!

"The government is big on rhetoric about security, policing and borders. But talk is cheap. Action costs money. And they have slashed the border guards just like they slashed the police and the fire services. Not Labour. It was the Tories that cut them." #Lab18
