Yesterday we spent a brilliant day with @IMIX_UK & campaigners from @WestEndRefugee, @WalkingwithUK & @ComfreyProject honing our media skills.
We created pitches, practiced interviews, & took beautiful anonymous photos 📸Can't wait to see what these amazing campaigners do next! – at Newcastle Upon Tyne, England

This Government's had a rough 24 hours ...
It's time to make them even harder and make sure our voices are heard.
Message your MP and ask them to oppose the cruel refugee ban bill and stand on the right side of history👇

✊Please read and share our blog to help raise awareness of the extent of the cruelty of the Nationality and Borders Act.
We know a different future is possible, a future where refugees are protected not punished.

To everyone in the refugee & migrant sector who feels low after the #AntiRefugeeBill passed yesterday: Remember this - kindness and decency will ALWAYS win out in the end. This is a bump in the road but we will continue the journey and we WILL reach our destination. We promise.

The #NationalityAndBordersBill divides refugees into two groups: people who arrive via almost impossible to access 'regular routes' like resettlement schemes; and those who will have no other choice but to embark on perilous journeys in search of safety. #TogetherWithRefugees.

This morning we handed in almost 190k petition signatures @10DowningStreet
We know that most people in this country want to welcome people seeking safety – and we want this govt to know it too.

Emotional moment at the @RefugeeTogether Day of Action in #WhitleyBay as @mezemundo play the #Ukraine national anthem. No refugees should ever be criminalised for seeking sanctuary, no matter how they get here. Let’s tell our MPs to bin the #BordersBill #TogetherWithRefugees 🧡
