Re - The Home Office's surprise plan to start rounding up people for #Rwanda deportation from Monday.

The powerful throw a crisis in our path to destablise us - to weaken us.

Though it's really hard, we need to be grounded in our approach

Three things we can do.

🚨NEW blog on IMMIGRATION RAIDS🚨 as we navigate Rwanda confusion:

⚡️What's a raid?
⚡️What're your RIGHTS in a raid
⚡️What to do if you SEE a raid
⚡️Key groups

Stay informed, stay vigilant, stand together.

Thank you @AntiRaids @migrants_rights ✊

Detention of people who are to be deported to Rwanda has been announced.

Migration justice movement needs solidarity of every other social justice movement to stop this.

Please look out for local action.

[Women Asylum Seekers Together 🧡 @wast_manchester]

Today has been a sad and dark day. The women in our network are worried about what the Rwanda Bill means for them:

"The Rwanda Bill makes me feel anxious and less of a human, as my thoughts, worries and safety do not seem to be acknowledged by the policymakers." 1/3

I want to thank everyone who helped me making this speech, @BrumLeader and my @BrumLabour colleagues for selecting my motion and those who desperately wanted to speak on it too - and, most of all, to my family and friends for their support.

[We Got to Move @WGTMove]

A powerful speech from @David4BKH (part 1 of 2)

[David Barker @David4BKH]

Yesterday I made my first speech as a Councillor on a motion I wrote, calling for the Council to adopt a trauma-informed practice to better support the most vulnerable in Birmingham.
I spoke about my experience of childhood trauma and the impact it had on me. (part 1 of 2)
