We are deeply saddened and angered by the needless deaths of people trying to reach safety in the UK.
The continued loss of life in the Channel as well as in detention centres around the country are a direct result of the Government's racist #HostileEnvironment policies.
The answer can never be to ramp up toxic policies - which Gov's Nationality and Borders Bill (aka #AntiRefugeeBill) does by proposing pushbacks at sea and offshore 'processing' of asylum seekers.
And just this week Gov announced a new prison-like detention centre for women.

The only real 'response' to these continued, avoidable tragedies is to scrap the Bill, end detention, and treat people with dignity.
Provide safe routes for people to arrive in the UK to claim asylum, and real safety once they are here.

If you are grieving and angry, you may want to support @JCWI_UK @safepassageuk @DetentionAction @wallsmustfall @migrants_rights @DetentionForum to name just a few organisations working to dismantle this racist system.
