We welcome the decision of the UK Supreme Court that the #Rwanda policy is unlawful. Along with our friends & partners, we will continue to do all we can to build a safe, hospitable & welcoming country for people seeking asylum in Scotland & the UK. #TogetherWithRefugees #WhoWeAre
This afternoon I moved a motion to extend free bus travel to people seeking asylum in Scotland.
I was grateful to be joined in the gallery by The VOICES Network 🧡 & Maryhill Integration Network who have championed this.
The framework for free bus travel is in place and can be easily extended.
🚨TODAY, Paul Sweeney motion on the #FreeBusTravel campaign is being debated in the Scottish Parliament! We are delighted to join this historical moment 🚍
Don't miss out!

On day 4 of #ChallengePoverty Week the focus is on affordable transport for everyone. Through our work with faith groups, we've called in particular for the provision of free bus transport for people seeking asylum in Scotland, so they can participate fully in community life.
It’s our AGM today and we would love you to come along to find out about our work supporting people made homeless and destitute by the asylum system. We greatly appreciate your support. Homeless Network Scotland Scottish Faiths Action for Refugees 🧡
