Well done @JCWI_UK - we love a victory! Now let's get rid of all these deadly predicatively racist AI algorithms being fed (often in secret) into every govt department - any investigative journalists @guardian out there want to help ?

🚨Breaking news🚨

We've got the Home Office to stop using its racist algorithm to sift visa applications!

The algorithm gave “speedy boarding” to white people – the Home Office has been forced to scrap it after we & @foxglovelegal launched legal action

Great film. Parliament MUST scrap NRPF - protect ALL mothers & their children from rape and other violence @nicolejacobsST

[Support not Separation @NotSeparation]

#DA Bill does not protect immigrant mothers & must abolish No Recourse to Public Funds. ALL mothers have the right to resources to escape domestic abuse. See WAR’s new film @AgainstRape @AfricanGr https://t.co/miKDQY4f8O

[AllAfricanWomen'sGroup @AfricanGr]

Great demands which include us! Together we can win them all - Please RT widely

[WinVisible (women with disabilities) @WinVisibleWomen]

New statement to @CommonsHealth on #socialcare future funding. Disabled women demand free flexible support at home and a living wage so family carers can opt in or out. #ScrapTrident: to replace costs 10 x social care yearly spend. https://t.co/cTxSWuOXyF

[AllAfricanWomen'sGroup @AfricanGr]

Message to the House of Lords - Don't leave us out of the Domestic Abuse Bill! We've contributed to the UK's wealth for centuries. Many of us are key workers keeping communities going - we demand our rights!

[Women Against Rape @AgainstRape]

No Recourse to Public Funds leaves women dependent on violent men. All women deserve housing, healthcare and benefits… We demand UK Home Office abolish #NRPF

[AllAfricanWomen'sGroup @AfricanGr]

Many of us with #NRPF are dependent on people who exploit our vulnerability. We demand @ukhomeoffice abolish #NRPF we all have a right to live safely, access healthcare and benefits

[AllAfricanWomen'sGroup @AfricanGr]

Women of colour earn up to 32% less wages of white men. Over 20% of children in care are from BME backgrounds. It's RACISM & POVERTY NOT NEGLECT - stop stealing our children. #SupportNot Separation #CareIncomeNow

[Migrants Organise @migrantsorg]

Last night @Channel4News reported that migrants in the UK fear charges for #NHS treatment, or being reported to immigration authorities if they go to the doctor - part of the Government's #HostileEnvironment.

[BlackWomenRapeAction @bwrap1]

Stop taking children from families forced into poverty including asylum seekers living on £35 pw NASS support. @vickyford tell Home Office to pay #careincome & give amnesty for everyone and their families seeking asylum https:/bit.ly/343GMjv #healthandsafetyforall #corvid19

Days before his assassination, Malcolm X came to Smethwick, near Birmingham, in support of migrant's struggles. This photo has surfaced from a Bangladeshi curry-house. Great joy seeing 2 great influences in my life in 1 photo. Seeking to identify the restaurant or anyone present.

[BlackWomenRapeAction @bwrap1]

Just what's needed for survivors of rapr & DV given the government has cut our benefits and escape routes in order to make us dependent on violent & abusive partners for a roof over our heads especially if we are Black/immigrant @AgainstRape @AfricanGr @ProstitutesColl

Joseph McCann - one of many rapists, child abusers and domestic murderers freed to abuse others. This Government has cut not only Probation Service, but our escape routes – from refuges to housing to welfare. If convicted at all, violent men may feel unlucky, but rarely guilty.
