From #Walthamstow to #Cheadle, a statement from the people. ✊ We were so inspired by the scenes around the country yesterday, as communities stood up against racist, Islamophobic, anti-migrant violence. The message was clear: hate is not welcome here.

People seeking safety must be housed in communities, not isolated in unsafe hotels. We've joined 39 organisations and 6,000+ individuals in signing this open letter demanding an overhaul of the asylum accommodation system. #SafeHomesNotHotels Sign it here: conversationoverborders.org/safe-homes-not…

Since the Rwanda plan was halted, more people are being invited to their asylum interview(s). Our Toolkit page on the Asylum Substantive Interview tells you all about your rights, questions you may be asked, how to prep etc. Read + share👇 righttoremain.org.uk/toolkit/asylum…

We signed this letter to the Home Secretary with over 50 other organisations, calling to: 👉Urgently ensure people living in asylum hotels now are protected 👉House people in safe homes in communities, not in hotels or other institutional accommodation. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

It can't be overstated how hard it is for asylum seekers to find legal aid representation - which is their right. Even with our six years building relationships with law firms, even we can't find lawyers for all our vulnerable community members. This is a *massive* problem. 1/

Many people are suddenly being invited to their asylum interviews after a very long wait. This is a daunting experience, and it's important to be prepared. Our Toolkit page breaks it all down. 👇 righttoremain.org.uk/toolkit/asylum…

We are proud to have written this letter and been joined by so many organisations in signing it. People become undocumented for many different reasons. Rather than detention, we need ways to make it easier for them to have a secure status. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

"We shouldn’t constantly have to justify our presence in this country... We just want to live our lives". GMIAU's Action Group reflect on this month's racist riots and how it links to their experiences on the 10-year route to settlement. gmiau.org/we-just-want-t…

The world is turning a blind eye to the crisis in Sudan, but we won’t stand for it. Share our video now to end the silence on Sudan.

So many lives lost, and so avoidable. If politicians spent less time talking about "enhanced enforcement", and returns, and focused on making it safer and simpler for people to seek asylum we would see fewer deaths. People will keep coming for safety. theguardian.com/world/live/202…

Asylum Matters 🧡 (@asylummatters) 's Twitter Profile Photo

At least 12 lives taken at our border today. 12 people who needed our help & were killed trying to ask for it. Our thoughts & love are with their families & loved ones, the survivors & with all those left without safe access. People need safe routes to seek asylum.

We were proud to put our name to this Migrant Voice 🧡 letter with more than 80 organisations. Raids, detentions and deportations make our communities less safe. Instead, we need far simpler routes to regularisation so our communities can thrive. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…
