Ending multi-billion-pound contracts with companies that provide squalid homes to people fleeing war? Sounds like common sense. This government absolutely should rip up these agreements. But... www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

“At my school, refugees, asylum seekers and children from many countries are made to feel welcome.” Children build friendships across languages and cultures every day. Join our digital wave of hope and share your story: https://bit.ly/4dvqlAC #AMillionActsOfHope

“When the world feels divided, what gives you hope?” The answers we received had something in common: kindness, community, and people showing up for each other. Hope lives in humanity. #AMillionActsOfHope

Last weekend, anti-immigrant voices took to the streets. Today, let’s make hope louder. We’re part of #AMillionActsOfHope, building a digital wave of welcome, solidarity, and community. What gives you hope? What would you say to someone seeking safety? Add your voice: https://bit.ly/4dvqlAC

We stand with refugees always, no matter what.

Local elections are tomorrow 🗳️ If you can vote, make it count. Candidates are knocking on doors. Ask what they stand for. • Will everyone have a safe place to live? • Will people seeking asylum be treated with dignity? • Do you support safe routes? Even one question makes a difference.

These firms participate in and profit from the government's dangerous, racist "one in, one out" policy. This policy returns people who have survived life-threatening journeys to escape persecution back to deeply unsafe conditions in France. Take action with @jcwi-uk.bsky.social now!

People seeking safety are being locked out in France and locked up in the UK. ACT NOW. Send your MP a postcard from the border. Ask: When will Keir Starmer scrap these racist, anti-refugee policies? https://act.refugee-action.org.uk/page/188948/subscribe/1?ea.tracking.id=RJ_EmailMPPostcard_BlueSky

NEW! Our new @refugeeaction.bsky.social report, "Locked Out and Locked Up", on systemic racism in UK asylum policy (as it is experienced by people seeking safety in the UK and northern France) is out today. Please read it and share widely. www.refugee-action.org.uk/lockedoutloc...

"All of these deaths are preventable through the creation of safe routes. "We're sending hundreds of millions of pounds to France to fund the policing operation there, and this policing operation includes the snatching of life vests from people.

Once again, people have lost their lives and lost their loved ones due to the total failure to provide safe routes. How many more people will be killed before our government takes action? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We did it 💛 £27,600 raised through #MarchForRefugees Every step taken means real support for people seeking safety. From frontline services to national campaigns to changing the narrative. Thank you for showing what solidarity looks like.

Stand Up For Refugees is back! Join us for a cracking comedy night with Shaparak Khorsandi, Josie Long, Josh Pugh, Andrew Mensah, Ester Manito, Milo Edwards and Alison Spittle. Let’s build a UK where refugees are welcome, and have a laugh while we’re at it. Early bird tickets are £18, link in bio.

As many refugee charities have said from the start, this cruel policy: · does real additional harm to people seeking safety · fails to deter crossings · is performative and headline-grabbing Time to scrap it and create safe routes. https://bit.ly/4bw0Gam

The housing emergency has been caused by decades of under-investment and made worse by profit-driven asylum contracts. We’ve launched a practical guide to help you talk about housing with facts and clarity. Download and share. https://bit.ly/4lFj4Cl

Stripping support from people seeking safety while continuing to ban most people from working is outrageous. People seeking asylum receive £1.40 a day in hotels, or £7 a day in houses. These poverty-inducing levels of support push people into exploitation and irregular work to survive.

The policies that are made in the grand building of parliament impact real people all around the country. Yanick, Rene, Anusha and Bsmah have all experienced the asylum system first hand. They are members of our community. They campaign for justice. And we share their outrage.

We are devastated to see what is happening in the Middle East/West Asia and stand in solidarity with all those affected. As violence escalates in the region, our government is rolling back rights for refugees and refusing to open safe routes for people.

The Labour Party says it's determined to lift children out of poverty. So why don't children seeking sanctuary count? ✍️ @nbphillips1872.bsky.social

This is an attack on our fundamental rights, and another divisive, scapegoating policy that tears at our communities and solves nothing. It must be reversed. Everyone deserves the chance to settle, rebuild and put down roots, not face a life in limbo. https://bit.ly/4rIVW7P

The conversation about housing is all wrong. For decades, governments haven’t built enough social homes. People are struggling. Yet refugees get blamed. Our new video flips the narrative and focuses on the real issue. Watch it. Share it. Let’s change the conversation.

"Deterrence” policies don’t work, they only push people into further danger. A few hundred have been sent back to threats, homelessness and overwhelming dispaif. This approach causes harm without solving the issue. Read more: https://bit.ly/3OGgK1c

Stories remind us of our shared humanity. They help us meet people rather than categories. And they invite us to slow down, listen properly, and make space for voices that are too often ignored. https://www.refugee-action.org.uk/national-storytelling-week-holding-space-for-refugee-voices/

One survivor told the inquiry that they were treated differently because they were refugees. This led to delays in the search and rescue mission. This is yet another tragic example of why racialised assumptions and racist rhetoric is so dangerous – it costs lives. news.sky.com/story/loss-o...

This story lays bare the forces shaping how people who need a home are housed: - Vulgar profitmaking - Divided communities - Refugees scapegoated If we are to heal our communities, this must end.

New reporting shows the “one in, one out” scheme is harming survivors of torture and trafficking while failing to deter crossings. Safeguards in detention are breaking down. This is performative cruelty, not effective policy. Read the investigation: https://bit.ly/4sKHBZA

The Guardian reports far- right groups harassing people seeking safety in northern France, destroying water supplies and invading sleeping spaces. This is where the politics of division leads. We need leaders who choose hope and unity. Read the article here: https://bit.ly/4sRPMn2

Finding a safe home should not be this hard. People seeking safety face unacceptable conditions, social homes are not being built, and decades of underinvestment have created a housing emergency affecting us all. Read these 4 things the government can do. Email your MP: https://bit.ly/4pFEXly

People who survive an authoritarian regime should not have to risk their lives again just to exercise their right to seek asylum here.

The atrocities in Iran show how important it is that the UK welcomes and provides safe routes for refugees. 4,780 Iranians were forced to make dangerous channel crossings in the year ending September 2025. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0r4957rq8ro

For too long, public debate about asylum has been dominated by fear and division. Yet the evidence shows that communities are strongest when everyone has a safe place to live and a fair chance to contribute. Read our blog here: https://bit.ly/4bEP2eC

A system in which Government spends money on social housing for all rather than on private companies and landlords? Makes total sense to us. In fact, we've even written a whole report about it. It means more homes for all people in need. inews.co.uk/news/council...

Shabana Mahmood’s latest asylum plans are dangerous for all communities. The UN says they could “create prolonged uncertainty and despair, undermining integration and social cohesion”. If the Home Secretary truly wants to “unite the country” then she must listen. www.unhcr.org/uk/publicati...

The level of taxpayer-funded violence at the UK-France border revealed in this report is sickening. We support @humansforrights.bsky.social calls for an independent public inquiry into the UK government’s role in the increase in violence and deaths at the border in recent years.

Right now public money fuels private profit while people live in poor conditions. It hurts all our communities. Our report sets out a council-run alternative. Email your MP and ask them to speak about it in Parliament: https://bit.ly/4pFEXly

This new law is anti-refugee. It’s another attack on rights, and further criminalises people seeking safety. Instead of lifting the ban on work and uniting communities, the government is doubling down on failed deterrence policies. It doesn’t have to be like this. http://bit.ly/3Kwpe9z

Great night at The Conduit Club bringing together companies, unions and charities to discuss why lifting the work ban for people seeking asylum benefits everyone. Thanks to our hosts and panel. Want to join the 300+ orgs backing the campaign? Drop us a message.
