🚨 Take urgent action to stop Air France deportations next week. Call, email and @ them on social media: Tell them not to be complicit in these violent deportations of people seeking safety. Use this script to help you: docs.google.com/document/d/1qs…#STOPAIRFRANCEDEPORTATIONSNS

Three people died yesterday and three more people are missing, and one more woman died earlier this week. Their deaths are a direct result of the border policies that force people into irregular routes, with 34 victims at the franco-british border already in 2025. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

Cette nuit, une jeune femme d’une trentaine d’années est morte sur la plage de Malo, à Dunkerque. Elle tentait de monter à bord d’une embarcation, espérant rejoindre le Royaume-Uni. C’est la 28ème victime des politiques migratoires à cette frontière depuis le début de l’année.

Many of us will join protests in the coming days — and we have every right to. But with recent crackdowns and the UK gov targeting protestors, it’s vital to know your rights. If you’re an immigrant in the UK, read our updated protest advice 👇 🔗 jcwi.org.uk/resource/imm...

Hier, 898 personnes sur 13 embarcations de fortune, ont réussi à rejoindre le Royaume-Uni par la Manche, amenant à plus de 25 000 le nombre d’arrivées cette année. Les semblants d’accords et les politiques répressives n’empêchent pas les traversées mais poussent à toujours plus de risques.

Ahead of the French-UK summit @refugeeaction.bsky.social @jcwi-uk.bsky.social @humansforrights.bsky.social @camcrag.bsky.social and others have signed a statement 'condemn[ing] unequivocally the continued violence and securitisation' at the border www.crossborderforum.org/july-2025-fr...

Today Yvette Cooper said she wants to criminalise people crossing the Channel "to keep children safe". She clearly hasn't read our report! Our research shows how increased securitization of the UK France border doesn't keep children safe, it puts them in danger 👇

« Le bateau est cassé, il y a deux personnes mortes ». Ce sont les infos que nous avons reçu lors d'un appel de détresse dans la Manche ce matin. Nous avons directement prévenu les secours. En moins de 10 jours, cinq personnes sont décédées des politiques de cette frontière.

Today, another person has died at the French-British border. He is the 17th victim this year of these cruel border policies. Whilst politicians on both sides of the Channel continue with anti-immigrant rhetoric, their policies destroy lives. www.lavoixdunord.fr/1585418/arti...

The racist criminalisation of people seeking sanctuary must end. Here and across Europe, hundreds – mostly young Black men – are doubly victimised: first by the conflicts they flee and then by a racist border system that criminalises them. Report below 👇. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Talking of immigration as a "failure" is a dangerous move, which has been shown to stoke hostility against migrants. It is insulting to those of us who have made our lives here, and is akin to the same hostile rhetoric which helped stoke the riots we saw earlier this year.

On both sides of the Channel this week, politicians continue to speak about 'fighting immigration' and 'smashing the gangs'. But we see daily, here and elsewhere across Europe, that the criminalisation of people on the move doesn't stop anyone moving; it just forces people to take riskier journeys.

Naufragés dans la Manche, morts aux frontières. Un rassemblement, une marche, une table ronde. Pour ne pas les oublier, pour agir ensemble, pour mieux comprendre. Dunkerque, dans la nuit du 23 au 24 novembre

This Saturday, 23 November, there's a commemoration in Dunkirk, in remembrance of those who were killed crossing the channel on 24 November 2021. Ce samedi, il y aura une commemoration aux personnes mouraient au cours d'une traversée vers le Royaume-Uni. Join from 7pm, Place Jean Bart.
