Migrants Organise is a grassroots platform where migrants and refugees organise for justice. In 1993 we came to life in living rooms across West London, where migrant leaders would provide support to their communities. www.migrantsorganise.org

This is why we are calling on your solidarity. We're coming together to fight for their jobs and their right stay. Time is running out, as many workers have less than a month left on their current visas.

We are in touch with hundreds of nursing assistants in Manchester who are facing deportation. They have treated patients, comforted families, and kept the NHS running in crises.

But due to new VISA rules, their annual salary is just ยฃ63 short of the threshold needed to stay in the country

Up to 50,000 nurses could quit UK over immigration plans, survey suggests Exclusive: union leaders say proposed changes are immoral and could threaten patient safety if there is staff exodus

These nurses have given years of service to the NHS; have worked tirelessly through nights, holidays, and crises; and have often put their own well-being aside to care for others.

Yet with draconian immigration rules they are told they no longer belong here โฌ‡๏ธ

The governmentโ€™s latest asylum plan tell us we must become harsher; more exclusive; more punitive. Protection becomes an unattainable privilege.

But our message is clear: Our power cannot be detained, deported or divided. Our humanity is stronger.

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and Why This โ€˜Newโ€ Copycat Immigration Policy is Going To Failโ€ - Migrants Organise % "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and Why This โ€˜Newโ€ Copycat Immigration Policy is Going To Failโ€ - Community Organising

The Home Secretary's โ€œnewโ€ asylum plan is a cruel political choice with brutal consequencesโ€”it's the Hostile Environment 3.0.

Stripping migrants of rights won't solve structural problems.

We know there are alternatives. We're organising to demand better. ๐Ÿ‘‡

It's absolutely vital that migrant communities are able to live in dignity and make lay down roots within communities.

That's why we're so committed to building our collective power towards our vision.

Image of two lit candles and text which reads "2024 was the deadliest year on record for people seeking asylum in the UK. But our Government still refuses to record these deaths. #KnowTheirNames"

While headlines focus on how many people claim asylum in the UK, there's one number that's not even officially counted:

The number of people who die while trying to seek sanctuary here.

We know our policies kill people. Their deaths must not be ignored.

Less than 24hrs after a damning Home Affairs report condemned military sites for asylum housing, Labour announces two more.

Wethersfield must close. Napier must close. Cameron and Crowborough must not open.

People seeking safety belong in communities, not camps.
