People fleeing persecution should never have to choose between danger & despair. Compassion, safe routes & protection are not contradictions; they are the only humane way forward.

We stand for a fair & compassionate asylum system that leaves no one behind.

Thank you @mary_kenton for kind hospitality to walker pilgrims from #RefugeeTales and for the church with the best acoustic for voices to soar. The Sing For Freedom Choir were fabulous this evening!

Pleased to mark another year of Refugee Tales, but very sorry that I have to - we need to say #RefugeesWelcome with safe, orderly routes

Indefinite detention must end. For those detained it never does. Tom Gatti quotes our trustee, Pious, in @observer ‘the impact of detention is still there. On a daily basis, it comes onto your mind. It’s not something I can just erase.’ https://t.co/7btA5IjEo8

4 days ‘til we’re on the road with Refugee Tales! T-shirts packed, sun hat packed, water bottle packed🌞 (blister plasters packed too!) There are just a few remaining tickets if you’d like to walk with us at https://t.co/oaFdOwSflY 👣✊🏾It’s going to be sunny and full of heart!

[Angie Hobbs @drangiehobbs]

Very much looking forward to taking part in this next week, starting with the reception in Parliament on the 8th; then walking on the 9th, and speaking about the urgent need to end indefinite detention in the U.K. in St George in the East

‘ Giving makes me feel good’ is what one individual donor said! Get the glow… Enable our work… Someone else said ‘The Big Give’ is like ‘the happy hour of giving’! Here’s the link to contribute to help people during and after detention https://t.co/Xs2xvBX5pL 💐
