@followMFJ Will there be another demo any time soon?

More will come out in coming days. Yesterday’s demo critical to breaking isolation of detention & reaching people who desperately need to understand what‘s happening to them & get legal representation. We WILL b going back. #ShutDownYarlsWood #Enddetention #RefugeesWelcome (9/9)

Spent 2day following up w/ cross channel refugees detained in #Yarlswood - picture emerging of vulnerable people denied right to legal reps & contact with outside world in drive to deport as quickly as possible. Here are some of things we’ve learned... (thread 1/9) #EndDetention

We are looking for volunteers to join the Akwaaba community! Particularly those who speak Polish, Russian, Lithuanian + Romanian, but all applications welcome. See flyer for info + email volunteers@akwaaba.org.uk if you're interested in joining a wonderful + supportive community.

and with all people adversely affected by the months of lockdown. And it’s been beautiful to see energies directed into long-term organising, and to share knowledge between local movements. See you in the struggle - la lucha continua!! 🔥✊🖤🖤 (3/3)

We feel that as the lockdown lifts and as these movements grow, it’s time to put Demands from a Pandemic down for a while. It’s been amazing to see banners go up in homes around Ireland and the UK - solidarity with everyone who participated in these actions (2/3)
