[Refugees at Home🧡 @RefugeesAtHome]

We need a host ANYWHERE in U.K for this couple (not the Prince!) who fled Ukraine to Poland. Anatolii’s a wheelchair user, & needs an accessible property & a sponsor who’s happy to host pets too (2 dogs & a cat) for 6 months under Homes 4 Ukraine [email protected] RT pse

[NACCOM 🧡 @NACCOMnetwork]

Could you host someone in need of safe, stable accommodation? Our friends @RefugeesAtHome are in need of hosts to help people they are supporting right now. ⬇️

[Refugee Action @RefugeeAction]

Jenrick's vision: treat people seeking safety badly so fewer come in future.

The reality: his government is already treating people in the system horrendously.

But the effect isn't deterrence, it’s billions in public money wasted, racial discrimination & misery for refugees.🧵

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

We are appalled by the Prime Minister’s comments on child detention.

Immigration detention is incredibly traumatic for children and causes psychological and developmental harm.

The UK government must put the best interests of children first.

"If the government does not engage with the truth about who asylum seekers are and what propels them towards the UK they will never solve this issue."

Grateful for the work of journalists like @Dianewriter who speak truth to power with their reporting:

Huge congratulations to our member @MicroRainbow, who have received the award for Charity of the Year at this year's British Diversity Awards.

Important and well-deserved recognition for their vital work with LGBTQI people in the asylum and immigration system. 👏🏽

[NACCOM 🧡 @NACCOMnetwork]

The case to #LiftTheBan is stronger than ever - it makes financial, economic and moral sense.

So what are the Government waiting for? It's time to give people seeking asylum the right to work.

I remember seeing news footage of Nigel Farage’s Brexit march consisting of about 30 bellends and a whippet…

But no British news coverage of this incredible strike action from yesterday:

[Turning Tides Team @Turning_Tides]

The Teachers Strike meant Scott had extra help today. Some Triple Ts came in to help him cook a tasty chicken korma meal for our Folk Like Us members. They took orders, served and even washed up! It was great having you @savs_southend - you’re awesome!

Breathing Space is RST’s unique #accommodation service, filling a crucial support gap for people seeking safety in #Scotland through the #asylum system, who have become #homeless and have lost their entitlement to support.
