Much needed and welcome legislation to improve workers’ rights was announced in the King’s Speech. However, migrant workers’ rights are integral to the protection of labour rights. So, here are some simple, workable reforms for the new government. lawrs.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

Thank you Women's Aid for inviting us to your 50th Anniversary. The power of partnerships is crucial for supporting the work of ‘by and for’ organisations such as ours. Together we can ensure migrant survivors rights are upheld regardless of their immigration status.

🚨BREAKING 🚨 The contract for a barge which houses asylum seekers will not be renewed past January 2025, according to the Home Office. Confining people on a ship was NEVER a good idea. It's time to close other "camps". People belong to communites. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Publicity = protection so it's vital what happened to Migrants At Work LTD. founder Aké Achi is shared far & wide. Aké safeguards migrant workers when statutory agencies fail to. He runs a small team yet receives ongoing referrals from better funded UK orgs. theguardian.com/world/article/…

As migrant workers' rights have been eroded, labour exploitation has increased. We are calling for changes in legislation and policy to ensure the safety and dignity of migrant workers. hibiscusinitiatives.org.uk/media/2024/07/…

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. act.refugee-action.org.uk/page/154730/pe…

Today we join over 240 orgs to stand in solidarity with those affected by the recent acts of violence, many of whom have already fled unimaginable horrors to try to find safety. This must be a turning point. #TogetherWithRefugees

These riots started in Parliament. Rioters chant “stop the boats” and “we want our country back” - using language from politicians across the political spectrum. It’s not enough to call out violence, politicians need to stop normalising hate. In policy and practice.

This 👇🏽 is an example of how social services, recruited into a hostile environment mindset push families into poverty. Many families are blocked from benefits & are expected to survive on crumbs (actually - unlawfully low levels of money) from councils. Shame on London Borough of Bexley
