❗ We need to talk about our broken #citizenship system.

Thousands of people have made the UK #OurHome but cannot build fulfilling lives with the system stacked against them.

This #RefugeeWeek, Citizens UK leaders will share why the pathway must be timely, affordable and fair.

[St Barnabas E17 @e17stbarnabas]

Day 22 and I had privilege of meeting with @CitizensUK today to discuss how we can better support immigrants and refugees in our country. However loud others shout for division, re elect me walthamstow and I will keep being a voice for compassion for those fleeing persecution.

Democracy in action

[Waltham Forest Migrant Action @WFMigrantAction]

Mayor @SadiqKhan says ‘London is for Everyone’.

But our friends seeking asylum can’t afford bus travel!

We’re at City Hall to give @SebDance a Valentine’s card and ask for a DATE to discuss how we can make space on the bus for all of us!

#roomonthebus4us #londonforeveryone

[St Barnabas E17 @e17stbarnabas]

Hi @Tfl, do you have space on the bus?🚌 Asylum seekers, who receive a mere £8.86 a week, can't afford the fare. This affects mothers doing the school run, people attending medical appointments, and language learners missing out on ESOL classes. #TransportEquity

[The Magpie Project @magpieprojectuk]

So many children growing up in hotel rooms not homes. The most appalling aspect of this is that they cannot EVER have a home cooked meal. Please sign and share our petition https://t.co/xvydGjhP7L to ask for change.

[Waltham Forest Council @wfcouncil]

Very good to have Rev @VanessaCConant and @StMarysE17 speaking up for some of the most vulnerable in our community in this piece. Praying they’re heard.
