Lawyers, survivors, and 100,000s of caring people up and down the country have made it too hard for this government to forcibly fly refugees to Rwanda.

Without legal aid, people are trapped in a hostile immigration system and denied basics rights: a safe home, access to healthcare and denied the right to work.

That's why we're taking action and want organisations working on social issues to join us 👇

We speak to The Guardian about how the Home Office’s chaotic plans to digitise proof of immigration status could have a disastrous financial impact on thousands of people, including refugees, as their proof of ID is linked to the benefits they receive.

A long day ended with energy in East London with Medact and Migrants Organise - health workers and people affected by the #hostileenvironment coming together to find a way to document health related harms of asylum accommodation led by @UCL Jo Dobbin.

On 15th May 1948 Zionist military forcibly displaced over 750,000 Palestinians from their homes.

76 years after Nakba, Israel continues the violence, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing.

We need to act now! Join the Nakba 76 march for Palestine this Saturday at noon in London.

Absolutely fantastic to see this campaign awarded. #JusticeForOmisha really shows what solidarity in the UK #HostileEnvironment can look like and the power of community organising. But it shouldn't have been needed because the NHS should not be a site of border control.
