This is my favourite question 🥰

Let’s be clear: if the Home Secretary cannot say that her Bill respects the fundamental rights of the most vulnerable in society, it. must. be. thrown. out. #r4today

Here are some ways you good folks can help:

1. Write to your MP.

If they’re a Tory, tell them that you want them to throw this Bill out & focus on fixing the NHS & getting sewage out the rivers instead of wasting our money defending its illegal cruelty to refugees in court.

If not, say you expect them to fight it 💪💪

2. Raise your voice!

They justify all this cruelty off of you, you know. They say YOU want this.

If you’re able get your neighbourhood association, faith group, school parents’ association, ANYTHING to write a joint letter to local papers saying your community rejects the bill.

3. Raise your voice as an individual

If you listen to any radio shows that take calls in about this issue CALL IN.

You don’t have to know everything, just that this is cruel & wrong & doesn’t represent you. Ask them to do their talk shows on the cost of living & NHS etc instead

4. Support the human rights defenders!!

I inevitably get in trouble for missing out groups if I start tagging refugee support orgs, but search for your local one and see if you can donate, or even volunteer?

If you want to take action join your friendly local @AntiRaids network

5. Follow folks on here who are organising resistance to the Bill.

Respond when they share petitions, calls for MPs to support amendments to the Bill, call-outs for local demonstrations… The Bill has a long way to go & we need one another every single step of the way. 💪💪

Finally, don’t lose heart. It’s bleak. Hold each other.

Talk to your friends and family about why this matters to you and how desperately we need change.

People move, this Bill & all their cruelty won’t stop it. Another world is desperately needed, we build it with love ❤️

If you don’t know who your MP is you can find how to write to them here:

If you’re keen, you can write to local councillors too. They can’t stop the bill, but can pass a motion condemning it & take lots of local action to support refugees in your area
