LIFT THE BAN trip to the Parliament. Very inspiring and powerful day. Campaigners from across the UK including the Sheffield Lift the Ban Coalition came together today in London to say loudly "LIFT THE BAN" and give PEOPLE seeking asylum the right to work ✊🏼

Our diversity is our greatest strength, there is no place in our city for those who try to divide us.

The violence we have seen across the country, and in South Yorkshire, since the devastating attack in Southport is not protest, but hate. 1/

[RotherhamTUC @rotherham_tuc]

Humanity & Kindess - oppose hate.

Our members have long been speaking out about the harmful impact immigration reporting has on them.

The reporting regime criminalises migrants and requires them to them to report physically to centres or police stations, report by phone, or even be subject to 24/7 GPS tagging.

Yesterday a 7-year-old child died trying to reach the UK.

A little girl.

Our borders are deliberately hostile for people seeking sanctuary - they have become a graveyard.

The threat we face is not refugees. It's a politics totally devoid of empathy.
