More than 180,000 people have signed a petition calling on the British government to end a policy barring most asylum seekers in the United Kingdom from being able to work while their applications are being processed #LiftTheBan #42047f0881ba" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">forbes.com/sites/chantald…

Mercy Baguma was an asylum seeker in the UK. Denied work because of her migration status, she died in extreme poverty next to her malnourished baby boy. This is where anti-migrant policy leads. We should build a society rooted in compassion & solidarity, not division & hate.

The Government is trying to deport people who came to the UK fleeing war & torture. This inhumane approach to migrants & asylum seekers must end. Instead of scapegoating them, we should recognise our common humanity & provide safe refuge. My letter to the Home Secretary 👇🏽

This week Mercy Baguma, an asylum seeker from Uganda who was living in “extreme poverty”, was found dead next to her malnourished baby. Could this mark a much needed turning point in putting an end to the government's inhumane hostile environment policy? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

“My mental health is deteriorating and my confidence has never been lower”. A 20 yr old aspiring student is desperate to use her skills but is banned from working because she is seeking asylum. This makes no sense #LiftTheBan

Banning people seeking asylum from working just doesn’t make sense. The new #LiftTheBan coalition report shows just how clear the evidence is. asylummatters.org/2020/07/30/com… Let us break it down for you:
