The impact of the new citizenship rules are immense already - we've been speaking to people in our networks about them, see below....
Many of you will have seen the news of new government rules that could block tens of thousands of refugees from ever claiming British citizenship.
Since the news reached us, much of our time has been spent talking to friends, colleagues and clients whose lives have been thrown into further turmoil.

2025 must be the year our government tackles racial injustice.
Read our Chief Executive's op-ed in @bigissue.com on how they can be brave, and make the case for a racially just immigration system based on rights.

Instead of trying to build fortresses we must focus on tackling the drivers of displacement, increase safe routes, and secure people’s right to claim asylum
Every death in the Channel is heartbreaking yet avoidable.
Hostile border policies based on securitisation simply push people to take more dangerous routes and will ultimately lead to more people losing their lives.

At least 270 people have died in UK awaiting asylum application decisions since 2015, figures show
Migration charities told Sky News that the deaths are of people who have often "fled horrors such as war" and "undergone treacherous journeys to seek sanctuary".

Successive Governments have taken a racist approach to refugee protection because they treat people differently depending on where they have come from.
This is racial injustice.

We stand with many others urging the Home Office to keep processing asylum claims by people from Syria.
Through our services, we're hearing first-hand how fearful the community is that they may be asked to leave.
Many have already waited over six months, unable to work or rebuild their lives.

Many Syrians are rightfully celebrating the end of an authoritarian regime.
But our government must remember that there is still no stability there.
