Earned settlement consultation closes today. If you haven't completed it already please do, and tell this government that migrants should not be treated as second class and magic money trees.
These proposals will destroy lives, and push more people into poverty. Make your voice heard and oppose them
🚨Earned settlement consultation ends Thursday🚨
Proposed changes risk pushing hundreds of thousands of children into poverty and destroying lives.
We have created guidance on how to tell the government we need a genuinely fairer system.

Write to your MP and invite him to attend our event to learn about these impacts! If you want support with this you can access our template and send us an email. We'll be happy to support you.
Just wrote to my MP to urge him to attend your event at Portcullis House on the 23rd! The proposals are appalling and short sighted. The UK NEEDS lots of young folks ready to take up the mantle of citizenship and keep this place thriving. £12k+ in fees and a decade to get close to secure status?!!!

Labour's recent proposals on 'Earned Settlement' would turn back the clock, throwing young people whose lives and futures are in the UK back into uncertainty; and come against a backdrop of unpredictable and ever-increasing Home Office fees. Learn more👇

How do we approach conversations about immigration with people who hold negative views? 🤔
Our team shared on The Get Up Manchester: start by removing the 'us vs them' mindset and invite them to hear directly from those experiencing the hostile environment.

This week's We Belong x Brighter Futures Gathering was so wholesome! It was great to see young people from different immigration backgrounds come together and connect. The vibe was incredible—it felt like two families merging for the evening. Lots of games, good food, and great company. 💙❤️

We recently ran two great sessions with our partners @webelonguk.bsky.social to build up their organising practice through stronger collective care.

Their organisers are doing brilliant work campaigning for the rights of young migrants and developing the next generation of leaders.
