2/8

‘It creates an arbitrary two-tier citizenship system that any civilised society should be ashamed of!

It demonises & criminalises Refugees and infringes their rights under the Refugee Convention.

Migration is a human right & no human is illegal.
3/8

It targets British people with Black and brown skin, British people from minority ethnic groups, and makes them vulnerable to losing their entire material lives.

But It doesn’t threaten white British citizens this way.

IF THIS ISN’T APARTHEID, THEN WHAT IS?
4/8

This Bill is authoritarian.
It is intolerant.
It is oppressive.

IT IS DIRECTLY OUT OF THE FASCIST PLAYBOOK!

So, are we just going to standby and watch? We must stand up to the tyranny of this government!

And that’s why we’ve all gathered here today…
5/8
to show these Lords that we’re angry at what the government is doing.

We’re here to tell them we’re angry, that the Tories have tried to get this legislation through
with minimal public knowledge.

We’re here to ask them to stop our elected government, whose #BordersBill
6/8

Is in direct opposition to human rights and international law!

This Bill cannot be allowed to pass! Let’s face it, it’s a racist piece of legislation, which must be opposed.
7/8

I urge all the members of the House Of Lords to uphold democracy today and vote against this horrific Bill.

I appeal to them, to stop the rights of ethnic minority citizens being dismantled!

I implore them to do what’s right.

WE NEED THEM TO #SaveOurCitizenShips

Section 40 of the British Nationality Act 1981 gives the Home Secretary some seriously worrying powers.

Some of the @LetsStopC9 team attended the very important #protest to bring the attention of the House of Lords to the racist #NABB. Many powerful speeches were shared and we have been inspired!

#NationalityAndBordersBill
Our next steps as @LetsStopC9 will be to increase collaboration with other groups who share our goal - to stop the #NationalityAndBordersBill we are thankful to Sam from @WritersofColour for connecting us
We will continue to raise awareness around the #NationalityAndBordersBill and encourage people to challenge it, and will uplift the voices of other organisations working to fight it
