Last week, around 30 people in detention began a hunger strike, demanding their right to asylum in the UK.

“We have a reason why we came to this country: to be protected... We would like to be free and to have our human rights & protection.”

Pandering to the far right won’t bring unity, belonging, care & community will.

This weekend’s march was built on years of racist policies & scapegoating. We stand in solidarity.

🚨 Raise the alarm: While the Rwanda policy drew outrage, a new wave of harmful immigration policies is going under the radar.

Detention + deportation changes are deeply damaging, and we’re urgently fundraising to provide free legal support.

📢 We spoke to @freemovementlaw about Clause 144 of the Crime and Policing Bill.

This clause would allow people with lawful immigration status to be deported for accepting a caution, risking due process & widening discriminatory policing.

To warn of an ‘island of strangers’ while fuelling division is hypocritical & dangerous.

Yet, across the UK, people are coming together to stand up for justice and community. That’s the future we believe in.
