A @UNITE survey of migrant workers in key UK sectors reveals shocking levels of racism and exploitation. Longer routes to settlement will only fuel this abuse. The gov must end prolonged waits, allow migrants to work without employer-tied sponsorship. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/raci...

Yet again, evidence shows that the government’s persecution of migrants is based on lies. The government must stop this performative cruelty against survivors of modern slavery: provide safe routes and safeguard those fleeing exploitation. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

From Sudan to Gaza, genocide and war show the human rights framework is already woefully inadequate. Yet this government is organising transnationally to undermine it further, using migrants as scapegoats. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

As the year ends, we have some exciting news for 2026! In February, we will welcome Lavanya Pallapi as our new Executive Director. She'll lead JCWI’s powerful work fighting for migrants' rights, building the movement & supporting our communities into the new year. 🧵 jcwi.org.uk/updates/lava...

🔈 On International Migrants’ Day, we renew our commitment to challenge racist immigration regimes both here and across the world, and fight for a future where all migrants are respected - in the workplace and in our communities. We are here to stay! #InternationalMigrantsDay @jcwi-uk.bsky.social

✊🏽We mobilised on Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s turf to demand justice for migrants. No long routes to settlement: everyone who arrives here should have the right to stay permanently, with the same right to work and rent housing that everyone else in our communities has.

Today we protested in the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s constituency with the Migrant Workers’ Rights Coalition. We demand dignity and justice for all migrants and a dismantling of colonial border regimes. #HereToStay #HereToFight

BREAKING: @insuranceboycott.bsky.social has revealed that QBE Insurance Group is the insurer behind Reform UK - the party campaigning to ❌scrap Net Zero, ❌scapegoat migrants, and ❌serve fossil fuel interests. 📝 Tell QBE to 🛑drop the contract actionnetwork.org/petitions/qb...

📣 Mobilise on Shabana Mahmood’s turf 🗓️ Sat 13 Dec | ⏱️ 12PM 📍 St Martins Square, B5 4BW → march to B1 3HS ✊🏽 We are here to stay. Resist the racist border regime.

The shocking new audit data on the asylum system backlog has confirmed what we've been saying all along: the government's asylum system is torturous and inhumane. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

🚨Today, the government's Border Security Bill receives royal assent and becomes law. Some sections will not come into force for two months.   This Act creates even more offences to criminalise and persecute people who come here to seek safety. 🧵[1/5]

Air France is helping UK and French governments use their flights to inhumanely remove people. Stop the flights. Boycott AirFrance. Sign the petition www.change.org/p/boycott-ai...

Yet again, the government seeks to scapegoat migrants to distract from its own political and economic failures. This approach is inhumane & dangerous and will result in more violence and harm for those forced to take this dangerous route. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Net migration is a simple measure of how many people come and how many leave. It is not a crisis and it is not something to celebrate. But the government treats it as both, stoking a panic of its own making.

🚨ALL OUT 13 DECEMBER 🚨 Stand up for migrants’ rights at the national demo in Shabana Mahmood’s constituency of Ladywood, Birmingham. Resist the Mahmood reforms & the UK’s racist border regime. #WeAreHereToStay

The government is not even trying to hide its far-right turn. Yesterday’s asylum changes show it clearly. We will keep resisting the scapegoating of migrants, and we will always stand by one another.

The Home Secretary's asylum policy announcement is brutal and inhumane, as our Advocacy Director @seemasyeda.bsky.social told LBC News this morning. Labour is implementing the slide to fascism. We call on all social movement forces to unite and resist. youtu.be/CLncDcrn-P4

Almost 300,000 of us said no to Digital ID cards. Parliament now has to debate it. Digital ID already exists for migrants through the e-visa system, and it has brought surveillance, stress and exclusion. We need to eliminate these forms of IDs now petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

This is part of an ongoing assault on people seeking safety. Hotel contractors take huge sums from the government yet provide poor, unsafe accommodation and food. When someone speaks out, they are punished. It is horrifying and deeply worrying. national.thelead.uk/p/refugee-fa...

This month, @kalayaan.org.uk Voice of Domestics Workers & @focusonlabour.bsky.social prepared a briefing, endorsed by us and other organisations. The call was to reinstate the original Overseas Domestic Worker (ODW) visa in the upcoming legislation. jcwi.org.uk/resource/uk-...

Our client has won. After decades of uncertainty, he has been granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK.

Air France is helping UK and French governments use their flights to inhumanely remove people. Stop the flights. Boycott AirFrance. Sign the petition www.change.org/p/boycott-ai...

We're supporting this urgent briefing calling for MPs to do more to protect the rights of domestic migrant workers and survivors of modern slavery. MPs must support these amendments👇

“People have the right to depend upon the law and not changing that substantially retrospectively. It undermines the basic rule of law if you can change the law at any time and apply it retrospectively.” Bethan Lant, lawyer at Praxis www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Research that came out last week confirms what we’ve always known. The ‘migration crisis’ is made up. It is manufactured and meant to distract.

🚨Boycott Air France 🚨 Air France is facilitating cruel and forced deportations of people who came to the UK to seek safety - including survivors of trafficking and modern slavery. Please sign and pledge to boycott until they stop – and share widely www.change.org/p/boycott-ai...

We need your help! Write to your MP and tell them a different world is possible, where people live in communities, not in camps. Tell them to put compassion first in the asylum system. #CommunitiesNotCamps

Putting people seeking safety in barracks is cruel, performative punishment. We’ve seen what went wrong at Napier, Penally & Manston: they are unsafe and inhumane. We must not repeat that. We should welcome people and house them safely in communities. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025....

The Home Office has wasted billions on a “failed and chaotic” asylum accommodation system - with the money lining the pockets of profiteering companies. People must be housed in proper housing, in communities where they can start to build their lives. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This shows how fundamentally broken the UK–France scheme is. It forces people who have been trafficked or fled war and persecution into even more danger. Instead of punishing those seeking safety, the UK must offer safe routes and protection. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The Government promised a consultation on their proposed major changes to settlement, but it’s been 6 months and we haven't heard anything. So we're taking things into our own hands and we want to hear your thoughts.

This morning, we attended the last trial in relation to the successful resistance of forced transfers from a Peckham asylum hostel to the Bibby Stockholm prison barge in May 2024. Solidarity with the defendants and all those who resisted that day. We must stand up and protect our communities.

Migrants are forced to live in grim conditions while corporate profiteers make millions. The far‑right is exploiting anger against the cost - but it's companies like Clearsprings who are responsible and who benefit, not people seeking safety from war and persecution. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The government has rushed out another cruel anti-migrant policy to appeal to Reform voters. Humanity is not a transaction, nor something anyone should be forced to earn. We should be proud to give people the chance to build their lives here. Our piece for the Metro: metro.co.uk/2025/09/30/w...

Blaming migrants to appease the far-right does nothing to fix the cost of living, inequality, housing, the NHS or the climate. We joined 100+ organisations to demand the govt stop scapegoating migrants and focus on real solutions to the UK’s crises. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🚨 WIN AGAINST THE ODDS!!🚨 Our Ghanaian client with mental health issues & complex PTSD (detained in Yarl’s Wood last year & given removal directions) has had their asylum appeal ALLOWED 🎉 Thanks to @medicaljustice.org.uk for their vital support. Client safe, removal stopped.🙌

As the far right mobilises, migrants across the UK face enormous challenges. Our free legal helpline is a lifeline — but it’s running out of funding. Help us keep it open. Every donation counts. www.crowdjustice.com/case/protect...

✊🏾Everyone should have an equal right to work, decent pay and safe workplaces. Today, we joined RMT workers at their demonstration outside the Home Office in solidarity against the cruel and reckless changes to work visa rules.

These inhumane deportations by Air France are scheduled to start *tomorrow*. Please email, call and tag/comment on Air France’s social media to tell them not to be complicit in the forced deportations of people who came to this country to seek safety, and not to fly.

🚨 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

This govt is copying a FAILED policy, knowing full well it's inhumane and will retraumatise people- all to appease the far right. When Manston was in use, diseases spread, people were abused & driven to self-harm. We cannot let it happen again. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

🚨 VICTORY! 🚨 After years of fighting Home Office failures, our client – a survivor of trafficking with severe mental health needs – has finally been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain🎉🎉🎉.

Did you know that thousands of migrants are being forced to wait over ten years until they can permanently settle in the UK? And if this Government has their way, over a million more people will be trapped in this decade-long wait. Spread the word. Share this video now. youtube.com/shorts/WDuan...
