Using the inflammatory language of ‘invasion’ to describe desperate vulnerable people seeking safety from war & persecution demeans the office of Home Secretary We need a functioning fair asylum system, safe legal routes & international cooperation, not this inhumane negligence

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.

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

We are attending this webinar hosted by City of Sanctuary UK 🧡 to become more aware of what is happening on our doorstep. It also fuels our work with Lambeth Citizens migrant justice team. Our fellow members support people in hotels so it’s important to understand & support their work

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 Citizens UK at this Housing Summit. We need affordable, social housing. Join us!

We are proud members of South London Citizens. Last night’s Citizens UK 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.
