A great thread from @RefugeeAction explaining why the Rwanda Act is so dangerous and cruel
A great thread from @RefugeeAction explaining why the Rwanda Act is so dangerous and cruel
What you need to know about the Rwanda Bill👇
Now the Rwanda Bill has passed, more people will start looking into the scheme. When they do, they will see the abuse it entails. Here's 5 things everyone needs to know. THREAD
Do you want to be part of a team that supports resettled refugees to join in community activities across Birmingham? Volunteers will support the team organising events and social activities for refugees. Please apply on this link here : refugee-action.org.uk/volunteer/navi…
This grubby cash-for-humans deportation scheme will always be a grim symbol of the cruelty of this government. Our thoughts are with the tens of thousands of people terrified they will be imprisoned, shackled and deported for daring to ask for protection. #NotRwandaNotAnywhere
Today we share our outrage, tomorrow we work together for a better future for all. We stand with refugees and our friends who support them.

✊🏽We are standing together against the cruel Rwanda Act. That is why we & 250 other organisations wrote to the PM about about our shared outrage on this despicable assault on the most marginalised in our society. #NotRwandaNotAnywhere Read more👇🏽
"Working with Ehsan has been incredible, it has gifted us with skills, talent, knowledge, creativity and fun" Lovely blog from #LiftTheBan coalition member @ScottishCrannog with @Maryhill_IN. It makes no sense to ban people like Ehsan from working! crannog.co.uk/blog/crannog-b…

Hey @AirTanker, long time no see. 2 years ago you told us you wouldn’t fly refugees to Rwanda on behalf of the UK government ... now you're not answering our calls. So we're turning up the heat. Tell AirTanker: Don't profit from refugees' pain 👇 secure.freedomfromtorture.org/page/147528/ac…

@QaysSediqi @RefugeeAction This is brilliant! 🫶🏼✊🏼👏🏼
Growing up, society forced me to hide the fact I’m a refugee. Now I’m just honoured to be able to empower refugees and fight for their rights as a Trustee at one of the biggest charities for refugees and asylum seekers, @RefugeeAction
I've just signed @RefugeeAction's petition calling for a not-for-profit asylum system. Add your name to tell the Home Secretary to end the cruelty and put people before profit. act.refugee-action.org.uk/page/140646/su…
I've just signed @RefugeeAction's petition calling for a not-for-profit asylum system. Add your name to tell the Home Secretary to end the cruelty and put people before profit. act.refugee-action.org.uk/page/140646/su…
The letter has been signed by @JCWI_UK, @hrw, @FreefromTorture, @RefugeeAction, @refugeecouncil, @migrants_rights & other organisations from across civil society. “While this is a targeted attack on refugees and migrants, an attack on one group is an attack on all of us.” (4/4)
The Rwanda bill passed. Very few asylum seekers will ever be sent there, but this morning, thousands of homeless men, women & children who came to us with nothing & asked for help but we left in limbo, have fear hanging over them of violent deportation to a dictatorship #r4today
This is a huge setback for anyone who believes in the rule of law. Its implications for our constitution can’t be overstated. But I promise you, this isn’t over yet. We are not going to abandon refugees without a fight. Refugees welcome here always ✊🧡 theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
A dark day. But there is always hope. The Rwanda bill has been passed. Today we grieve, but tomorrow - along with the 500+ orgs of the Together With Refugees coalition - will continue to fight for something better.
Last night marked a truly dark moment in British history. In defiance of international law and the Supreme Court, Government passed the #RwandaBill to dehumanise and violently deport sanctuary seekers to an unsafe place. We will still #FightTheAntiRefugeeLaws 🧡✊
The events in Westminster today re the Rwanda Bill are an absolute stain on this country’s conscience - a terrible new low - with all political sides and the media class pretending that this is a normal piece legislation
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
"Working with Ehsan has been incredible, it has gifted us with skills, talent, knowledge, creativity and fun" Lovely blog from #LiftTheBan coalition member @ScottishCrannog with @Maryhill_IN. It makes no sense to ban people like Ehsan from working! crannog.co.uk/blog/crannog-b…

Really enjoyed spending two days with the cracking @RefugeeAction trustees and leadership team for my first Board meeting. No doubt we face tough times, but this is one organisation doing genuinely significant work to end the hostile environment and disrupt its worst symptoms.
#FollowTheMoney who are we blaming? Are we looking at those at the top enough or just blaming those at the bottom trying to build their lives?
Another company making money from refugees' misery announces bumper profits. Mears profited £46.9m in 2023, 34% higher than 2022. But much of this increase is down to the abysmal housing that the hostile asylum system pushes people into. independent.co.uk/business/mears…
New bumper profits for the Mears Group as asylum chaos rages. 👇 It’s time for an asylum system and housing solutions built for people, not profit.
