📣 Right now MPs are debating the Government's Anti-Refugee Bill in the House Commons As they discuss the proposals, we're urging MPs to: ❌ scrap the cruel plans to punish refugees ✅ back new proposals to open safe routes #SaveRoutesSaveLives 🧵
We must not turn our backs on Afghan refugees in their time of need. @BorisJohnson + @pritipatel can and must do more. Join other refugee supporters and tweet your support for #AfghanRefugeesWelcome. Tagging in your MP if you can.
Proud that one of our Grassroots groups @SWR_HandInHand & Stafford Town of Sanctuary presented their first award to St Austin’s Catholic Church, given ‘Church of Sanctuary’ status today. @theodoraclarke presented the award in recognition of the warm local welcome to refugees
Join us at Parliament Square on Monday at 1pm to protect refugee family reunion in the run up to the Lords voting. RSVP now → actionnetwork.org/events/protect… #scrap37 #RefugeesWelcome #EUWithdrawalBill
@GreenJennyJones I have sent you an urgent & important email about child refugees issues, which have been now forced to the Lords due to Government withdrawal bill. Deeply appreciate you taking a look and getting back to me @safepassageuk @SWR_HandInHand

However the gov tries to portray it, next week's Lords vote isn't about technicalities & negotiating tactics. It will send a signal to children living in the most horrendous conditions: that the UK knows they are waiting & wants to help; or that family reunion is not a priority.

It is disgraceful to use child refugees as a bartering chip with the EU. I will not withdraw my amendment. theguardian.com/world/2020/jan…
Kate from @KEVIStaffsSch chose to volunteer with @SWR_HandInHand for her Bronze Bronze Award. Kate says "I feel like this was one of the best things I could have done for volunteering because this cause has truly helped many people" To read more visit facebook.com/DofECentral/
With so many amazing volunteers in one place at #StaffordintheWorld recently, we couldn't resist handing out some #VolunteersWeek certificates. Here are just a few of the fabulous groups we bumped into!
80yrs ago today Parliament voted to relax visa rules that lead to 10k child refugees fleeing the Nazis to be given refuge in the UK it isn’t enough to just commemorate our history if we fail new generations of child refugees today. It’s #OurTurn to act independent.co.uk/voices/yvette-…
Listen to @itsanitarani's discussing with Cate Blanchett on the art of storytelling, and how telling refugee stories can build "a road to empathy and understanding."
2-weeks ago we delivered 33k signatures to @theresa_may asking her to grant safe passage to 10k child refugees, just like our country did 80yrs ago for children fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe Britain has the capacity, It has the will. Our Gov. now needs to show compassion
80 yrs ago today a delegation of Jewish leaders met with Prime Minister Chamberlain a week after Kristallnacht. That meeting led to the rescue op which became the Kindertransport. It’s a real honour to host the commemoration of it today - in the company of so many who were saved
Urgent!! You've got only 24 hours to tell Theresa May you care about refugees! Theresa May, give safety in Britain to 10,000 unaccompanied child refugees from Europe and the crisis hit regions. Please sign and share —> bit.ly/2Dm46ia #safepassageuk #OurTurn
Just back from Calais after volunteering for @helprefugeesuk at their Warehouse. They need feet on the ground there and donations to keep them going. Please donate here: donate.helprefugees.org/campaigns/dona… or sign up to volunteer #HelpRefugeesUk #refugeeswelcome
Theatrical Play ‘Refugee Stories’ on Friday 26th October. Kindly supported by @safepassageuk Come along and support us! @StaffsNews @StaffsNewsNow
