@jlbps @the3million Indyref will likely *not* come in time, even if it was this year and successful. That means #Scotland has to look at mitigating the damage inflicted upon EU citizens and not least of all the Scottish economy.
Currently, we aren't using the powers we have to do so.

@jlbps @the3million There is need for a discrimination reporting mechanism and a public anti-discrimination campaign. There should be a Holyrood working group looking at all means of creating equality between all residents of Scotland regardless of nationality, using existing powers.
@jlbps @the3million There is need for an emergency fund for those families and individuals affected, especially those dealing with disabilities and ill health, women (who a disproportionately affected by both Brexit and the Hostile Environment) and those on small to no income, OOW and UC.
@jlbps @the3million Most importantly, @scotgov HAS to look at a way of providing EU nationals who HAVE Settled Status with a physical token, to prove their status instead of leaving it up to employers, landlords, banks, etc to check their status online - otherwise this WILL cause discrimination.
@jlbps @the3million @scotgov All of these things are in the power of the SNP and the Scottish Government. Hold them accountable. Make them justify why they are not taking action on these points. #Scotland is better #UnitedInDiversity.
