Very important event starting now with APPG on Access to Justice & opening remarks from Minister of Justice Heidi Alexander MP. ‘We are in a spending review but we acknowledge the importance of access to legal advice for the most vulnerable.’ Our clients feel the impact of legal aid cuts everyday

‘Civil rules are not worth the paper they’re written on.’ The human toll & cost to the state in failing to fund legal aid has far reaching consequences. Attacks on lawyers, the hostile environment, NRPF, 10 yr route to settlement, none proven to work. Powerful SouthwarkLawCen 🙌🏻

Overseas domestic workers are essential yet vulnerable, often facing exploitation due to restrictive visa policies. Granting them the right to settle in the UK is vital for their protection, stability, and empowerment Click here to support our campaign bit.ly/VODW_Campaign

Brilliant to see this anti-migrant motion withdrawn from Labour conference, thanks to campaigners Labour for Free Movement The public & The Labour Party's own members, don't want to carry on with the last Gov's cruel politics - they want to welcome people seeking sanctuary! labourfreemovement.org/migrant-rights…

“It’s no good having sympathy for workers at Grangemouth losing their jobs: they don’t need pity, they need Labour to step up to the plate and not allow a billionaire, who buys a football club as a hobby, to throw these workers on the scrapheap." Sharon Graham

Tying migrant domestic workers to 6-month visas is modern slavery. Let's break the chains of exploitation and advocate for fair, just, and humane immigration policies. Every worker deserves dignity, respect, and security. Click here to support our campaign bit.ly/VODW_Campaign
