After 9 years in the UK, I'm finally a permanent resident.

If your instinct is to congratulate me, don't. Don't congratulate me on surviving a cruel immigration system.

Instead, I need you to:
-read this thread
-share it
-write to your MP to end the hostile environment

I have been intentionally keeping my mouth shut on this topic because I didn't feel I had a right or that it was safe for me to speak out while my life here was considered 'temporary'. 2/

Will you help me end the cruelty of the UK immigration system?

I’m publishing a thread on the topic on Wednesday. I need everyone to read it and follow the call to action to help end this cruelty.

(If you’re a follower that doesn’t know me, hi, I’m an immigrant.) 1/4 I’m telling you this in advance because it’s a very long thread. You might be busy when you see it on your feed. I need you to set aside time to read it and write your MP afterwards. I provide instructions on what to say. This will take around a half hour of your time. 2/4
