Very very strange that this story seems to be systematically removed from the web.... would be a bad thing if folks retweeted and spread it far and wide........

Yes!

Pesakh/Passover, festival of freedom. Its central messages: freedom+liberation for the enslaved, exploited,oppressed. Let all who are hungry come & eat. Treat the stranger with love for we were strangers once. I think of this Yiddish song at Pesakh https://t.co/bWwyuW7eAU 1/3

Next monday the @UKHouseofLords votes on @AlfDubs's amendment to fix family reunion. We've got to keep the pressure on politicians. Email one today and let them know you're cheering them on in support of the amendment https://t.co/y0AjHlOBr0

Shameful https://t.co/fBiwrdGP3Q

[Safe Passage International🧡 @safepassageint]

As 🇺🇦 refugees flee their homes, we’ve seen just how vital family reunion is – but also how the rules don't work.

In the next couple of weeks, MPs will vote on @AlfDubs' amendment to #FixFamilyReunion.

Email your MP today and let them know your views https://t.co/PMFZnKCs0U

Unaccompanied children we work with have been refused to join family in the UK because their circumstances are not considered 'serious & compelling' enough by the Home Office

Thank you @AlfDubs for speaking out for young people who are desperately trying to reach safety🧡

[The Refugee Tales @RefugeeTales]

Events in Ukraine in full sight opens the wounds of the hurt of all past journeys to seek asylum. Our thoughts with those fleeing now, those who fled before and all those affected. Take care friends 👣✊🏾

[City of Sanctuary UK 🧡 @CityofSanctuary]

This is what we needed to see this morning 🧡🥲

After learning about why people are forced to flee their homes, this school in Birmingham made messages of welcome.

Welcome wins.
Kindness wins.
Love wins.

Keep going everyone.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Wow! Radical change of policy at BBC News at Ten. It excitedly reports young women – the resistance – making improvised bombs against Russia's advance. Presumably Palestinians resisting Israel can now expect similar celebratory coverage from BBC reporters

[Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 @DeborahMeaden]

For humanities sake @pritipatel make this the moment you step up. Help these people… open our doors as we would hope they would for us if ever we need them… make it easier not harder.

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

Shami Chakrabarti's speech on her amendment on Clause 29 of the Nationality & Borders Bill is a real quiet tour de force. Incredibly powerful and clear in its implications. She's quite simply amazing.

[Liberty @libertyhq]

This Government thinks the rules don't apply to it.

It's shutting down accountability and trying to become untouchable.
