There are a lot of depressing pictures of division, violence and hate from today. Here in Sheffield we stood together, against hate. It's not all bad out there ✊ #Sheffieldissuper #protests – at Sheffield, England

Resist Rwanda removals in our communities. An emergency meeting to coordinate Sheffield's community response to the expected increase in Home Office detentions and removals to Rwanda - 1st May 5.30pm - 7pm at the Sanctuary, 37-39 Chapel Walk, Sheffield, S1

Resist Rwanda Removals in our communities. This week, the government announced that it will start detaining people who are seeking safety, for them to be forcibly removed to Rwanda. This has spread fear in our communities. We want to make sure people have accurate and up-to-date information about who will be affected, and what they can do. Right now, this is one of the most powerful things we can do. We also want to coordinate what actions we can take in our city to effectively resist these plans. Our powerful, caring communities must stand together in solidarity with people seeking sanctuary.

Meet Mohammed* & Jamal* both 16 from Afghanistan. Alone in the UK, their true ages were disbelieved, leading to them being placed in adult facilities. Forced to share rooms with adults, children as young as 14 face fear, trauma, and abuse: bit.ly/3u11mCU *Names changed

An under-reported issue, that is right here under our noses. Asylum seeking children sadly matter less. amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/…

Child asylum seekers in UK forced to share hotel rooms with adults

Concerns raised over possible misclassification of children as adults as Home Office’s new hotel ‘maximisation’ policy begins

I work with people seeking asylum. Today I bumped into two young men who I met 3 years ago as new arrivals. They have just been granted their stay this week. 3 years! They were off to look for jobs.

📸 Ammar is from Yemen, and is an amazing photographer. Refugees have many different skills and talents which they bring to the UK. ⏳ BUT long delays and hostile policies prevent refugees from working and integrating - and prevent the rest of us from benefiting, too.

🧵 We are working with more than 40 other organisations and campaigners to urge @BibbyLineGroup @BibbyMarine to tear up their contract to provide housing for refugees on a barge to be docked in Portland on the SW coast of England. We also call on the company to acknowledge its’ founder’s connection to the slave trade refugeecouncil.org.uk/latest…

Today's Court of Appeal ruling brings hope and relief for those we support. Rwanda has been deemed an unsafe country for processing people's asylum claims, sparing countless individuals from fear and anguish.  But the fight for an orderly, humane, and fair asylum system continues. Take action now. Join the campaign for a fair and humane asylum system: act.refugeecouncil.org.uk/ca…

So far today 3 conversations about burn out & exhaustion in the refugee & asylum sector. Firstly our sector wasn’t built for 170K people being tormented & bullied by removal, living in horrific accommodation incubating health crisis. We’re doing amazingly well- you are amazing!

Robert Jenrick on @bbclaurak show today claimed most people coming to UK on boats are economic migrants. Untrue as the @ukhomeoffice statistics show. Most are refugees fleeing terror and war.

Separated refugee children need their families but unfair UK rules prevent reunification. We support over 5,000 separated children, some as young as 11, who arrived alone. Join @FamTogetherCo to call for change in the law to protect vulnerable children. #FamiliesTogether

4 false statements from @SuellaBraverman 1) Refugees dont have to claim asylum in the 1st so-called safe country 2) Being an "adult male" does not mean you can't be a refugee 3) The UK's asylum laws aren't "generous" 4) Seeking asylum is not a crime. #saferoutes don't exist
