We had a lovely time celebrating the season with the Links project yesterday. It was great to collaborate with @hvastuff and Sustenance food support. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make it happen. Community matters. We have more in common than that which divides us. ❤

Excellent video from @MathildaMall explaining why most of those coming here on small boats are men; as she explains, these men risk their lives so that women don't have to, as there are no safe and legal routes. These men are trying to help their families. https://t.co/pjbcs0URc8
