No matter where we’re from, we all deserve to have a safe place to call home

We are proud members of @SLondonCitizens. Last night’s @CitizensUK general election assembly reminded us while our direct work is #CommunitySponsorship, in seeking justice for one refugee family, we seek justice for all refugees and our fellow citizens.

Beautiful reflection on organising and solidarity from Grace Akinyemi at last night’s @CitizensUK general election assembly “Some of these issues will directly affect our own lives, for the other issues, we care because our neighbour’s struggle is our struggle.”

As we face the grim reality of supporting refugee families in UK via Community Sponsorship in finding a home once the 2yr commitment from their original landlord expires, we will join @CitizensUK at this Housing Summit. We need affordable, social housing. Join us!

One of our founding members @HarrietLamb_ celebrating the work of @WRAP_UK. Harriet was recently appointed their CEO. Her heart and actions for justice are infectious and we’re proud to be on Harriet’s team!
Harriet Lamb@HarrietLamb_
Ok, OK, @dhnnjyn @ClareLissaman @StitchedUpUK - Ending fast fashion & promoting pre-loved is such a priority for @WRAP_UK that I’ll just have to spend more time in charity shops finding treats like my coat here from @oxfamgb in Herne Hill.

The Home Secretary stops talking before she has to admit that the only way a teenager fleeing war & persecution to join family in the UK can get here is by getting into a small boat & risking their life
This is the reality of the closing down of safe legal routes. It is shameful

What is the safe and legal route for a 16-year-old orphan escaping an African warzone to join their sibling who is legally in the UK? Home Secretary Suella Braverman struggles to answer Tory MP Tim Loughton bbc.in/3GBQoYl

FINALLY someone is saying this out loud and we are hearing the reality of the great myth of #safeandlegal routes being available - as if it is a choice that is disregarded by ‘illegal immigrants’ who prefer to risk their lives to come here.
