@zedhas3 @Narmadha @unisontheunion On the subject of legal aid, brilliant @FIRMCharter campaigner, Nanou, says we need change - ‘we need a system that gives everyone dignity, justice & respect - its powerful having everyone in this room, it’s when the community comes together that’s where we can find the solution’

Our JCWI #TimeIsNow event, where we’ve launched our manifesto, has kicked off.

Wonderful to hear our lived experience advisory board member Shamim Sarabi, deliver our keynote speech - to demand ‘people can live a free, fair + dignified life regardless of immigration status’

[Shveta Shah @sjayas]

A brilliant, inspiring and accessible Manifesto.

Moving, respectful and beautiful film. Great Q&A that reminds us how important it is to see justice in action and crucial role of an independent media. #hrwffldn

Frances Underhill, Senior Manager of #HRWFFLDN, introduces tonight’s film: AFTER THE FIRE

@EE Thanks kindly for reply. Went in a few circles, tried again this morning as soon as EE phone lines are advertised as operating. Someone was able to tell us there was an outtage in our area. Might help to update customers via social media channels, can save ours & your time.

[Shveta Shah @sjayas]

@EE Internet network down for hours and no answer to via "contact us" options, which essentially sends you to different phone lines, Internet pages (that can't be accessed as network is down). Quite dissapointing to be sent to multiple dead ends.

If you're protesting this weekend, it's vital you know your rights

Save these bust cards, share with others, write phone numbers on your arm, look for legal observers if you need assistance and remember to say "no comment" without a lawyer

Keep yourselves and each other safe

Happy graduation, Greta! The days you missed school to strike taught us all a valuable lesson — that a single voice with a powerful message can reach the entire world. 🎓🌟

"Tagging people to ensure they don’t attend demos is a sign of an authoritarian regime, not a mature democracy." - @Raj_Chada, Head of our @HJACrimeTeam

[Freedom from Torture🧡 @FreefromTorture]

No, there really isn’t.
Refugees are human beings.

Instead of competing to show who’s cruellest, we need politicians to step up for the kindness and compassion we all deserve

[Shveta Shah @sjayas]

Congratulations @AyeishaTS and @NEON_UK team. Fantastic news!

[Ayeisha Thomas-Smith @AyeishaTS]

Eek....

It's official! I'll be stepping into an ED role @NEON_UK, taking the reins from the great @danielvockins.

I'm so excited about this next chapter, but for now I'm heading off on sabbatical to rest, recharge & do some strategic thinking about where we go next. ✊

🚨BREAKING🚨 With @PCS_Union, @DLPublicLaw & @Care4Calais, we've brought a legal challenge against @pritipatel's cruel plan to send people seeking asylum to #Rwanda. The secrecy surrounding her policy puts people at risk & denies the public full oversight.
