Just found out that popular airline, Jet2, uses AirTanker planes.

I just emailed Jet2, asking them to join us in taking a stand and urge AirTanker to stand on the right side of history. https://t.co/LU5j4hw1GY

Immigration detention is always harmful and must end.
No one should be held against their will, esp those who've already experienced trauma.
Two Govt sponsored pilots have shown how individuals can reside in the community while their status is being resolved fairly + humanely.

Inspiring to hear @sabir_zazai speak @CityofSanctuary AGM. At such a bleak time for refugee rights in the UK, his speech was a powerful rallying cry - there is a real power in human kindness!

[Jonathan Ellis @JonathanMHEllis]

Great to be in Birmingham today @CityofSanctuary for the annual conference and AGM. Inspiring to be with so many committed people from across the UK!

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

All people fleeing persecution – including for their sexuality or beliefs – should have the right to safety. Standing up for our shared humanity is just as important today as it ever was. These international frameworks exist to protect everyone.

The Trussell Trust and JRF are calling on the UK government to guarantee that the basic rate of Universal Credit at least covers the essentials we all need. Email your MP and ask them to guarantee #OurEssentials https://t.co/Mtw3j2JCRi

[NACCOM 🧡 @NACCOMnetwork]

Several of our members have been involved in running accommodation pilots that offer an alternative to detention. Community-based initiatives with support & legal advice are more cost-effective, have better outcomes &, vitally, treat people with humanity.
