📢 NEW CAMPAIGN. It's time to ask the government to #FixTheDigitalStatus.
✍️ Write to members of the House of Lords, who NEXT WEEK will discuss an amendment asking for physical proof of immigration status.
Join us:

Lack of physical proof of our immigration status continues to be one of our most pressing issues.
The solution is simple: a system based on QR codes, similar to the Covid-19 vaccination certificates, making life easier for millions of people.

From 5th April 2022, even more people will be affected, with the digital-only approach being expanded to ALL migrants in the UK.
Baroness Williams, Minister of State for Home Affairs, representing the Home Office, has given positive feedback on the proposal and said she will report on progress. We encourage you to ask her to ensure the government takes action.
Why write now? What has changed since the last campaign?
👉 We now have a solution to offer, which has been tried and tested
👉 We have a deeper understanding of the problems caused by the digital-only system
Does writing to peers work?
Last year many of you supported our campaign and Lords commended the show of action, with many peers mentioning the significant number of people who have raised their voices. 👏
Who are we calling on to write?
EVERYONE can join, regardless of where you're from, whether you've already been affected by the issue, you might be in the future, or if you stand in solidarity.
🗓️ Send your letter before Tuesday 8th March 2022.
