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⚡️

Join the quiet revolution of kindness - find your local Sanctuary group👇

It's legal to claim asylum. People who have asked for help must not be treated this way.

This is an attack on everyone's rights. When universal human rights, like the right to seek safety, are undermined for anyone they're undermined for everyone.

📣 Opportunity! The Grand Plan is offering £1K grants to people of colour who want to bring a new creative project to life. Supporting all creative forms including poetry, zines, workshops and more. 💫 Deadline is 6pm, 7 May. More info ➡️ buff.ly/3oJpdQb

This government's Rwanda plan is #PlaneCruelty .

Instead of being sent thousands of miles away, people seeking protection should be properly supported and able to rebuild their lives in safety here.

🎥Refugee Week 🧡 is coming soon and this year's theme is 'Our Home'. Many #MigrationFilms explore different perspectives by diving into the sense of 'home', the reasons to leave 'home' & the search of a new one as a search of identity. This weekend, as a #SimpleAct , watch a movie!

The teacher guide for A Day of Welcome 24 is now available 🧡

So many brilliant new resources & live events this year!

Get involved this Refugee Week 🧡 & help your school build a culture of welcome & understanding for people seeking sanctuary.

If you’d also like to defend people seeking safety, please add your name to our friend’s Freedom from Torture🧡 petition to stop the Rwanda flights.

Hey Nottinghamshire Schools-happening today 👇🏿

🚨BREAKING: The Government's cruel Rwanda Bill has PASSED in Parliament.

We are extremely disappointed and angry. But the fight continues.

Refugee and asylum-seeking women in our network share:

1/

Devastated to hear of the deaths of five people at sea including one child as they attempted to cross the Channel this morning. We stand with all those grieving this tragic loss.

#SafeRoutes for people in seeking refuge are needed now

theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

We have written with JCWI and others to express our 'shared outrage' at the passage of the #RwandaBill .

'We believe in kindness and compassion. The Government must abandon its deplorable deal with Rwanda, and protect those in need of sanctuary.'

#FightTheAntiRefugeeLaws

Single gestures of care and welcome can give newly arrived people hope and a sense of belonging. That’s why, this Refugee Week we’d like to encourage you to make a new connection. refugeeweek.org.uk/make-a-new-con…
