Ce soir, encore.

Nous nous réunissons pour ceux et celles qui ont perdu la vie à la frontière franco-britannique.

La France doit reconnaître la situation d’urgence humanitaire du littoral, ainsi que l’inefficacité coupable de sa politique meurtrière.

This weekend, eight people were killed seeking safety in the UK. Or thoughts and solidarity are with all those affected, and all those who lost loved ones.

The policies governing our border epitomise a politics devoid of empathy and humanity - a politics which must change.

As children across Europe settle back into school, hundreds of refugee children living in northern France don’t have access to education or spaces to play.

Project Play is working to change this. This autumn, support #PlayForEveryChild:

Yesterday, 12 people were killed seeking safety in the UK - among them, 6 children.

Seeking asylum is a human right. No-one should have to risk their lives to access safety.

Deaths on our borders must not become normalised. These are human lives, not numbers.

⚠️A journalistic investigation conducted by @lemondefr, @LHreports, @ObserverUK and @derspiegel shows how the French authorities, funded by the British government, endanger migrants and refugees’ lives in the English Channel.🧶👇 https://t.co/FEoHF4cukr

🚨The Schengen Border Code reform:
1⃣ Normalises racial profiling
2⃣ Legalises 'internal transfers' AKA pushbacks
3⃣ Uses the harmful 'instrumentalisation' concept

85 Civil Society Organisations call on @EP_Justice to #RejectTheCode in next week's vote⤵️

This weekend, five people were killed as they sought safety in the UK. These deaths are the result of the relentless pursuit of hostile border polices by France and the UK.

No-one should have to risk their lives seeking safety. In solidarity and anger - always.

"The “severe cold plan” is nothing other than a vast communications operation which allows the State to abandon its duties at the sight of the first snowflakes. The right to accommodation is unconditional at all times and in all weathers."

[Utopia 56 @Utopia_56]

Dans les prochains jours les températures vont chuter alors que des milliers d’enfants survivent toujours à la rue avec leurs parents.

Certains aimeraient vous faire croire à une fatalité, mais c’est faux. Laisser ces enfants dehors est un choix politique.

HUMAN RIGHTS MATTER ⚖️

We urge the French authorities to stop these violent eviction operations and respect human rights. 📢

We urge the UK government to stop supporting these violent evictions with UK taxpayer money.

[Project Play @projectplayfr]

We have been told that several evictions have been going on, and are still in progress in Grande Synthe and Calais today. It seems that camps have been destroyed: tents and personal belongings are being thrown away, forcing people out into the cold.

[Calais Appeal @CalaisAppeal]

🚨Urgent Appeal 🚨

This week, temperatures in Calais will reach - zero.

Our services are a lifeline for vulnerable people, yet our funds are desperately low. Today, we are launching an emergency winter crowdfunder to help people stuck on our doorstep.
