What do you think it means to be a 2nd class citizen in Britain?
Fewer rights? Poorer housing? Inadequate healthcare?
Or that the police and justice system just don't want to support you? Or actually persecute you?
We must rally around those who need us.
1/4
We must build community. We must make an effort to reach those who seem beyond help. Shake the systems that keep people stuck. Refuse to continue blithely accepting what is simply unacceptable.
2/4
Without grassroots action and genuine connection, nothing will happen. Without tapping into the notion that we are each worthwhile, and stronger together, the status quo will remain.
3/4
Seek what is unjust, and make it known. Find what is unfair, and tell its tale. Discover what has been hidden in plain sight, and share the knowledge. Start today. Have an important conversation.

#EndTheHostileEnvironment

 “So I’m afraid the answer is I suppose, yes, in theory that could happen but I think it’s very unlikely.”

74 years ago, on the 22nd June, 1948, the HMT Empire Windrush docked in Essex with hundreds of Caribbean immigrants on board.
Join us as we explore why we mark the day, and why it matters...
1/13
They had been invited to the UK by the government to help rebuild Britain after the second world war. Many found jobs in the NHS and other sectors lacking workers.
2/13
At the time the Caribbean was part of the Commonwealth so the Windrush Generation - the people who arrived into the UK from the Caribbean between 1948 and 1973 - were free to live and work permanently in the UK

This #WorldRefugeeDay we would love you to pause for a moment and think what it means to be a refugee, why it matters to support refugees, and crucially, what we can ALL do to help 🧡✊
1/5
Because for refugees, the situation they have fled and the situation they find themselves in, can be massive, traumatic sticking points. Sometimes barely an escape at all - 'out of the frying pan into the fire', as it were. This #WorldRefugeeDay please listen...
2/5
This #WorldRefugeeDay please consider how YOU can act to help. Can you raise awareness on social media? At home, at work, with friends? Can you donate to organisations already fighting for refugees, like @JCWI_UK?

#NationalityAndBordersBill #PCSCBILL
 
THREAD: The motive; could the cruelty have been imported here from a faraway land?

East meets West
 
As the Bill came back to the Commons yesterday, let’s consider the some of the key driving forces behind its ideology. 1/
Yes, Tory MPs have been supporting the Bill, however the lion’s share of the desire and drive arises from both @BorisJohnson being the PM, and the Home Secretary @pritipatel pushing it in order to appease their voter base. 2/
Patel is especially invested as she was charged to deliver the signicant electoral pledge of restricting immigration. However, the question of why Priti Patel as a PoC is hell-bent on pushing the #NationalityAndBordersBill has been asked a lot recently  3/

THREAD: #Rwanda, is it the best choice?

As we have all had had time to mull over the extraordinary revelations from last week, we thought it might be now a good time to dissect through some of the issues
This thread will focus on Rwanda in relation to the #PritiPatel deal. 1/
Most of you will have heard of #Rwanda from "Hotel Rwanda" a film that tells a bit about the Genocide that happened in the country in 1994 - in 100 days between April-July - >800,000 Tutsi people were killed in a national Genocide.
Rwanda has been rebuilding itself ever since. 2/
Why is it important that we dissect this deal from the #Rwanda angle?

Well put simply - its because the British gov #BorisJohnson #PritiPatel are deliberately not telling you, if they did, most Britons would be appalled & disgusted at how bad the scheme is for RW & refugees. 3/
