I wish people like Tommy Robinson could see what life is really like for asylum seekers
Refugees and asylum seekers are not a burden – they are people with skills, experiences and dreams with the potential to help communities.

1 in 3 children living in poverty are migrant children. This is not a coincidence. Hostile immigration rules drive child poverty.

There are a lot of traditions at Baca, but Friday Night Meal is a special weekly event. When people arrive in this country, they often miss the sense of community they had back home. Baca gives them the chance to show their culinary skills learned in the time they spend with us! 🍲

🚨BREAKING: From today people who entered the UK by irregular routes will "normally be refused" citizenship, regardless of how many years they've built their lives, raised families & called this country home.
A heartless attack on people seeking safety.

Time + time again, dehumanising rhetoric is normalised, giving way to ethnic cleansing + genocide. We must condemn genocide, genocidal rhetoric + dehumanising rhetoric wherever we see it. Dehumanisation paves the way to genocide. We must not become indifferent to it.

The Holocaust teaches us the message of “never again”: that we cannot let genocidal history repeat. Yet this history continues to repeat: we see “never again” become reserved for a select few, instead of it becoming a call for liberation for all people...
