It's my birthday today!

If you can't donate, please share & support their message. Abolish camps, abolish detention, abolish borders! Freedom of movement for all.
Dozens of young children are being held at Manston detention camp in Kent.
Mothers, fathers, children and babies from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere.
We went today and heard them chanting for their freedom.
This is persecution. FREE THEM AND CLOSE IT DOWN.
Regardless whether you think this or that group of people "should" be here or "should" be accommodated this way or that, if you have a media platform & are not using it to unequivocally condemn hatred, violence & terrorism against any migrant at all today, you are the problem.
As the media obsesses over the Tories political infighting, the real fight remains outside the walls of Westminster
It is by organising with migrant workers, resisting raids & deportations, & creating community support for people who move to the UK, that we’ll see real change rn
''The story of Skala Sykamineas should remind us of our common humanity and ideals: that the initial reaction is, and always should be, to help a stranger in need.''

It shouldn't take one of the greatest athletes whose ever raced for this country for people to humanise undocumented immigrants.
But may Mo Farah's courage in speaking out allow people to see past the hate pushed by the press and politicians. We need to change the policy.
It was an honour to march with trans siblings today, demanding trans liberation in our thousands.
“Not one of us can be free, until everyone is free.”
We will keep fighting until that day comes - and may it come sooner than we could ever dare to dream.
1/ 🚨EXPOSED: This week the @ukhomeoffice asked us to contribute to their anti-refugee propaganda campaign targeting people abroad.
We will NOT participate in this immoral scare campaign & we urge other orgs in our sector to refuse to participate. Here’s why...🧵
This is what I was talking about when I said that we must also be vigilant here in the UK in the wake of Roe v Wade.
The right is waging war on women.
We cannot allow anti-choice politicians to strip us of our hard-won reproductive rights.
🚨 #Rwanda is NOT a safe country to expel asylum seekers to.
@hrw has written to @pritipatel urging the #UK government to rescind the scheme and not proceed with the first expulsions tomorrow.
