We signed @AfricanRainbow1's open letter to Home Secretary, @stonewalluk , Rainbow Migration and @AmnestyUK's open letter to the Prime Minister, and @migrants_rights' open statement, in response to The Home Secretary's appalling speech last month.

Yesterday we spent a brilliant day with @IMIX_UK & campaigners from @WestEndRefugee, @WalkingwithUK & @ComfreyProject honing our media skills.
We created pitches, practiced interviews, & took beautiful anonymous photos 📸Can't wait to see what these amazing campaigners do next! – at Newcastle Upon Tyne, England

This Government's had a rough 24 hours ...
It's time to make them even harder and make sure our voices are heard.
Message your MP and ask them to oppose the cruel refugee ban bill and stand on the right side of history👇
