The public overwhelmingly wants Gov to protect everyone's rights equally.

With 250+ charities and expert orgs, we've called on the House of Lords to reject the shameful #RwandaBill

On this International Migrants Day, we dream of a world where everyone has the right to remain where they want to be –

not because they are “deserving”,

not because they are “hard working”, (cont...)

Yesterday we spent a brilliant day with @IMIX_UK & campaigners from @WestEndRefugee, @WalkingwithUK & @ComfreyProject honing our media skills.

We created pitches, practiced interviews, & took beautiful anonymous photos 📸Can't wait to see what these amazing campaigners do next!

We do not want tormented children to have anything to smile about now, do we........?!
What a disgrace, and what a low level to stoop down to, picking on asylum seeking children, and removing a few nice murals from a "welcome" centre...! #RefugeesWelcome https://t.co/mScl5hEmev

This Government's had a rough 24 hours ...

It's time to make them even harder and make sure our voices are heard.

Message your MP and ask them to oppose the cruel refugee ban bill and stand on the right side of history👇
