"Why can't they stay in France?"
Do you hear this a lot too? Next time you do, send them this video so they know there’s a better question to ask.
Refugee Action retweeted
There are rarely simple solutions to complex problems. It’s only by working together and reaching a consensus that we have any chance of solving them.
Refugee Action retweeted
Sums it up beautifully!
Why can't refugees stay in France?
Because the UK is part of humanity and part of the solution to protect people.
Refugee Action retweeted
Yes, we do get asked this a lot! And if you do, please share @RefugeeAction's great video.

Amazing to get together with #LiftTheBan campaigners yesterday to plan our next moves. We'll not give up until this harmful, nonsensical policy is overturned!
This is what it looks like when a coalition of over 300 organisations campaigning to #LiftTheBan get together!
We're fighting to overturn the ban on working for people seeking asylum. And big plans are brewing... @AsylumMatters

In our last newsletter we also revisited the excellent @4refugeewomen report. It makes difficult reading but it is an important resource for our advocacy.
With reports that the use of hotels as asylum accommodation may continue for years, we're revisiting @4refugeewomen’s report on how coercion and control in hotels can mirror patterns of abuse many asylum-seeking women have experienced previously.

Refugee Action retweeted
Made it to Reading. 200ish miles down, 40ish to go!
Thank you for all your donations to @RefugeeAction. We're on £6.5k now. Amazing.

Another day, another 26 miles run, having gone past £5000 yesterday, the new stretch target I'd love to raise for @RefugeeAction is £10,000. Link in bio!
Thank you so much for all your support, the nice messages are almost as motivational as the menacing ones!

📢 My Shakespearean play about the last 14 years - The Tories: A Tragedy - is OUT TODAY
🏃So I'm running 240 miles to its launch in London to raise money for @refugeeaction.
✒️Today, I'll be signing copies at the top of Sugar Loaf mountain, Carmarthenshire, at 1pm on the dot!

Since I said I running to my book launch 240 miles away in London for @RefugeeAction I've lost more than 2500 followers. Ten ppl/bots a mile!
Oh well. I'm still doing it, signing books at all these exotic locations along the way...
Support welcomed!👇

Morning all.
I'm a bit sick of how refugees are routinely dehumanised in public discourse.
So I've decided to run 240 miles in 9 days, from where I live in West Wales to a gig in London, to make some noise and raise money for @RefugeeAction.

Last week, together with @AsylumMatters, @RefugeeAction and @hopenothate, we produced guidance for people seeking asylum and refugees on staying safe amidst far right violence.

A long history of govt & the media stoking hatred, remember the Go Home vans, the talk of swarms, invasion etc?
@refugeeaction's petition - the language that puts people in danger has to stop act.refugee-action.org.uk/pa…
Refugee Action retweeted
To stop racist riots, we have to stop racist and dehumanising rhetoric.
We support this petition by @RefugeeAction calling for an end to hateful, divisive language - we will not accept people in positions of power using their platforms to put racialised people in danger. ⬇️
NEW PETITION: End racist rhetoric. End racist riots.
Racist violence is carried out by a tiny minority, but we all see the racist rhetoric that provokes it.
Enough. Add your name to say racist rhetoric must end in parliament, in the media and online.

Speed up asylum decisions, or give people seeking asylum the right to work after six months?
WHY NOT BOTH?
