On Monday 16th September 2019, Mears Group will be taking over from Serco as asylum housing provider in Glasgow. After a year of lock-change evictions, hearings, interdicts and huge distress and anxiety, we welcome the opportunity for a new approach to asylum accommodation.

[Scottish Refugee Council 🧡 @scotrefcouncil]

Today, we are asking @mearsgroup to commit to doing things differently in Glasgow. No matter the outcome of current legal proceedings, will you commit to no summary evictions of destitute people? In today's @ScotNational.

Come down for some good tunes and donate some money to an even better cause!

We are looking for sponsorship/funding to help us print our Zine ‘To Yemen With Love’ which was put together by @UofGlasgow students and will be sold at a fundraiser, with all money going to @YemenAid_US. If anyone has any suggestions of who to contact please message us!

[GRASS @GU_GRASS]

We are looking for approx £550! Please circulate. It’s important for us to support Yemen during the crisis, and students have come together to research the art, history and culture of Yemen as a way to celebrate the beautiful country so it would be a shame not to print it!

[Patrick Grady @GradySNP]

Denying asylum seekers #righttowork is literally inhumane, and it’s a source of pain & shame seeing constituents with ‘no right to work’ on their i.d cards... less so for the Tory immigration minister it seems #lifttheban #refugeeswelcome @scotrefcouncil @Refuweegee @GU_GRASS

[Ana Opp 🇺🇦🇵🇸 @AnaOpp]

Once again for the people at the back.

Migration is a class issue. The rich can live where they like anyway.

Free movement is not just about who migrates but people's rights when already here.

It's easier to exploit migrant workers if their visa depends on their employer.

A truly heartbreaking story. Nasar Ullah Khan refused heart transplant, given invoice for end-of-life care, now having to crowdfund just to have his family with him for his last days.

Be sad, get angry, and take action.

Crowdfunder details in thread, and support @DocsNotCops

This was a really insightful talk by Daniel Trilling. We will definitely be grabbing a copy of his book!

[GRAMNet @GRAM_Net]

We’re delighted to have Daniel Trilling (@trillingual) with us this afternoon, talking about his book Lights in the Distance 📚

[Jonathan Lis @jonlis1]

It is now apparently indecent to object to paying £65 for the privilege not to be deported from one’s own home. This is the cancer of nationalism and this is its normalisation

Despite appalling conditions in Lebanese camps, most refugees say it is unsafe to go home
