Nobody should have to lose their life to cruel asylum and immigration policies

We need change now, to make the world a better and safer place for people seeking sanctuary

🚨 ‘Three times as many people seeking asylum died during the first six months of last year than the Home Office disclosed in official information.’

The Government must be transparent and accountable.

This message is from one of our lived experience ambassadors. They couldn't be more right.

This goverment wants to bribe people into accepting cruelty. The whole grim Rwanda scheme betrays who we are as a country.

We're sick of it. Now is the time for something better.

Grateful to Commission on the Integration of Refugees their research & their recommendations. Politicians must take this on board to create a fair system for all #RefugeesWelcome #FairBeginsHere
