🚨 Our new report, out today, shows that we're heading towards a catastrophic system meltdown because of the Illegal Migration Act and the Rwanda Plan. Over 100,000 people seeking asylum will be stranded in “permanent limbo” by the end of 2024. 🧵
Manchester posse: Our Organiser Maggy with friends from @MRSNManchester @GMIAU and @RefugeeAction heading to London for the Reclaiming Lived Experience conference ✊🏿
🚨BREAKING: campaigners have built a message made with larger-than-life children’s building blocks outside @educationgovuk. We’ve spelt out the message, because clearly the government isn’t listening. 🔊We need #ChildcareForAll families, no matter their immigration status!
If you are opposed to the government's #RwandaBill - make sure it can't be implemented. Brilliant action @FreefromTorture asking family airline Jet2 who use @AirTanker planes not to ask them not to fly people to Rwanda. Sign now to add your voice. We can do it #StopTheFlights

We have written with @JCWI_UK and others to express our 'shared outrage' at the passage of the #RwandaBill. "We believe in kindness and compassion. The Government must abandon its deplorable deal with Rwanda, and protect those in need of sanctuary." #FightTheAntiRefugeeLaws
the rwanda act's passage is a stain on the UK's conscience. it will tear people from their communities & deprive them of protection; it usurps the ability of UK courts to scrutinise Govt decisions; & it further carves out from our Human Rights Act, undermining universality.
I wrote this, which was published earlier this week, because I believe we urgently need a Windrush Inquiry, and for the WCS to be taken away from govt and made independent. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
📢 We stand with people seeking sanctuary. Our statement on the passing of the #Rwanda Bill. ⬇️
📢Today we're launching #ListenUp - a manifesto created by working-class young people from across Greater Manchester ahead of the #MayoralElection Young people want a mayor who will listen to them, learn from them and invest in solutions shaped by them. reclaim.org.uk/listen-up
Today the shameful #Rwanda Bill is likely to pass. No matter what happens, we will continue to fight defiantly for a fairer future for all. We are many & we are strong. Email AirTanker with @FreefromTorture & tell them to be on the right side of history! secure.freedomfromtorture.org/page/147528/-/1
Unless blocked, Sunak is going to send c.100 terrified refugees 4,000 miles away in a symbolic gesture that will neither 'stop the boats' nor save him electorally. The main result will be to cause intense pain to a group of people who have already suffered plenty.
Today, we gathered to address an urgent matter that affects the very fabric of our society and the principles upon which our nation prides itself: justice, dignity, and human rights. The issue at hand is the Hostile Environment policy, a series of measures that have not only…

If you thought the Rwanda plan was cruel, read this. This is why we've been building solidarity in our communities for the last few months- in preparation for this. We can't wait for legal challenges that will take years. We need real solidarity to survive and fight for justice
🚨 Our new report, out today, shows that we're heading towards a catastrophic system meltdown because of the Illegal Migration Act and the Rwanda Plan. Over 100,000 people seeking asylum will be stranded in “permanent limbo” by the end of 2024. 🧵
Exciting news from me! I am absolutely delighted to be returning to the migration sector and to be able to work with the brilliant team at @Praxis_Projects.
We're delighted to share that @minnierahman has been appointed the new Chief Executive Officer at Praxis, following the retirement of Sally Daghlian OBE. Minnie is a champion for migrant rights and we can't wait to welcome her to the team! Read more ⤵ praxis.org.uk/news/praxis-we…
