This week, we join over 200 orgs to stand in solidarity with those affected by the recent anti-refugee protests, many of whom have already fled unimaginable horrors to try to find safety.

This must be a turning point.

🚨 Let's not forget: The right for people to seek safety in another country is expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights alongside the right to a fair trial and freedom of expression (source: @uk.rescue.org).

It’s not about politics - it’s about people.
