We wanted to step up and show our support for the @Care4Calais #StopRwanda campaign.

The way Britain treats refugees and asylum seekers is part of the #HostileEnvironment, that led to the #NationalityAndBordersAct. We are pleased to support action to mitigate against it.

We want to see the success of this campaign and all others that aim to challenge the deliberate cruelty of the #HostileEnvironment and are proud to work with and alongside organisations and individuals who make this their goal.

The #HostileEnvironment consists of a set of policies and laws made to make it unbearable for some people to live in Britain. Originally intended to deter 'illegal immigrants', the plans backfired, throwing all non-White people into harm's way.

We see this in the treatment of the Windrush Generation & preferential treatment of some refugees over others. But hidden from view are systems depriving of their British citizenship if their behaviour doesn't match up...but only if they're not White.

This racism is riddled throughout the operations of the government and the impact on British people just trying to live their lives is unconscionable. We do not accept it.

But we WILL educate on it.

Because knowledge is power: exposure of wickedness helps rally enough people sufficiently angered by it to vanquish it.

What our society needs is a reckoning.

Let us examine ourselves. Let us choose inclusiveness, equity, and ACTION

Solidarity ✊🏽✊🏻
