Thank you to our community advocates for another amazing meeting 🤗

They continue to work with members of their communities, resist & fight hostile environment policies, the effects which have been exacerbated with the pandemic.

We uplift, support & celebrate them. ✨

[Sisters United @sistersunitedd]

Happy to be joined by colleagues from @infostaugs and Together We Grow for our training with @RaceJustice network. Expanding our knowledge, sharing experiences, learning how to resist, and how to be confident allies.

[Katie Clarke @KatieTraining]

@sistersunitedd today celebrating mothers from around the world, sharing our stories, listening and learning from one another, tears, fears, and plenty of love and respect. Humbling and beautiful.

[PAFRAS @PAFRAS_Leeds]

Let's be clear. No person fleeing war, persecution and violence should ever be housed in army barracks, yet alone ones that are dilapidated, cramped and resemble a prison. Asylum seekers should be housed in communities with appropriate support.
