This Refugee Week, join us on 17 June for an evening of film, food, and collective reflection.
We'll be hosting a film screening, a community potluck, and an interactive workshop.
Bring a dish to share, connect with others, and be part of the conversation.
We've already seen police facial recognition misidentify Black & Brown people as suspects. Using similar tools at the border will only cause more harm.
Public money should fund hospitals, services & support people through the cost of living, not cruel border controls that enrich private companies.
I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Forced Family Returns: a violent and brutal proposal. This is being coordinated by @jcwi-uk.bsky.social. Consultation closes tomorrow so today is an excellent time to write a letter opposing this proposed change.

In yet another stomach-churning policy, the government is treating children seeking safety with suspicion and scanning them with pseudoscientific AI to try and estimate their ages.
This fake tech is dangerous and discriminatory.
Seema Syeda from JCWI said: “The government’s border regime is pushing people into unsafe routes & criminalising people. The simple, moral answer is to allow people seeking safety to use the same routes as everyone else: train, ferry, plane.
