After the horrors of the 2nd World War and the Holocaust, Britain championed the Geneva Convention on #Refugees .

Today, for short term political expediency and opportunism, it is banishing bona fide Refugees to #Rwanda

Treating humans like cargo.

It is shameful and inhumane.

Today, the #SistersNotStrangers coalition publish new research on how refugee women have survived during the pandemic. We spoke with 115 women across the UK. Women who were already vulnerable before the crisis have been made hungry and homeless.

What's been happening and is still today is ridiculous, as #racistvans return. Thanks to everyone for putting up a good fight. #WeWillWin #stoprwanda

Please share this!

Community is the best tool we have to beat hostility & division.

If you're angry about the Rwanda Bill, channel your energy into making your community a place of welcome for all⚡️

More people dying at our borders, more dying in asylum system. Gov literally killing people trying to seek asylum here & avoiding scrutiny. 2 FOI requests, 2 very different responses.
Conditions in the human warehouses gov have constructed are appalling.
