❗️''Since 2019, Clearsprings and the two other providers that cover the rest of the UK have made a combined profit of £383m from the asylum contracts''

New Report! Threadbare: the Quality of Legal Aid - Migrants Organise New Report! Threadbare: the Quality of Legal Aid - Access to Justice

🚨 Everyday life has become a maze of complex anti-migrant rules and enforcement.

People need reliable, trusted legal advice but our research shows that trusted, publicly-funded advice has become harder to find.

Immigration law firm making £1.7m in legal aid loses contract over standards Thousands of asylum seekers left without lawyers after firm took on thousands of cases with just five solicitors

Good quality legal advice is essential in navigating the immigration system.

But thousands of isolated people have been forced to turn to false offers of 'support' after decades of legal aid cuts and neglect. We need a fully resourced legal aid system now! 1/ ⬇️

UK deportation of Eritrean man to France under ‘one-in, one-out’ halted by judge The 25-year-old claims to be trafficking victim and won high court challenge in what may prove major blow to Labour policy

Many of those detained under this policy are survivors of torture and trafficking.

Most would agree that torture and trafficking survivors should have their cases heard before they are deported. They are entitled to access to justice, just like everyone else.

2/ The far right deals in fear because they cannot compete with the solidarity we embody every day. Do not mistake their noise for strength.

They shout for cameras; we organise for a better future for everyone.

Solidarity is not a slogan; it is a practice.

Every bit of progress we’ve made, from trade union rights to migrant justice, was won not because those in power handed it down, but because ordinary people demanded it. And took action to make it happen. ⬇️

🚨 Take urgent action to stop Air France deportations next week.

Billed £31k. For NHS liver treatment.

Their crime? Being born overseas.

This is why I campaign for #PatientsNotPassports. To dismantle this injustice.

Would you pay this bill? For using a health service supposedly FREE FOR ALL? Thought not. Take action now ⤵️

Two children among three dead in English Channel overnight Three others are missing in the Channel as a result of another small boat crossing, according to the prosecutor of the Pas-de-Calais region.

Another heartbreaking yet totally avoidable tragedy.

Our thoughts are with their loved ones and refugee communities everywhere.

Enough. Human beings will continue to die at the border until our government dismantles its hostile environment and creates safe routes.

Asylum Accommodation Can Be Done Better - Migrants Organise Prison-like hotel asylum accommodation is not an unavoidable response to “crisis,” but a deliberate narrowing of political possibility.

Prison-like asylum accommodations is not an unavoidable response to "crisis", but a deliberate narrowing of political possibility.

There have always been alternatives - they lie in the principles of welcome.

Good news ❤️

❗"The race to the bottom on migration policy has to stop. No one will benefit from the increasingly harsh rhetoric and migration policies adopted by this government … who, we are afraid, are just preparing the political and public arena for the far right.”

This is a must-read article ⬇️

This summer we faced relentless hostility from all sides. Despite this,action is the best antidote to despair.

Thank you to everyone that has supported our Summer Fundraiser- this solidarity goes a long way in creating welcome for our members ❤️

if the ministers truly did “whatever it takes” they would do the only thing they did not try and it worked - to welcome refugees as humans and let them rebuild their lives. Shamefully uninformed journalists fail to imagine or mention this positive solution in reporting.

Celebrating our Resilience - Migrants Organise Celebrating our Resilience - Community Programme

Many people believe that resilience is an individual capacity, but for us resilience is a communal practice of care.

As the summer draws to a close, we're reflecting on ways we look out for each other and how we build rest and nourishment into out work ⬇️

Families belong together, but the government is shutting down safe ways to reunite families that have been torn apart.

Here is a great short explainer from friends at @praxisprojects.bsky.social ⬇️

To live alongside your family is a right. Refugee family reunion is a source of hope and compassion.

Whilst the government attempt to take this right away, we won't be silent.

For now, organisations have until 3pm today to submit an online family reunion application ⬇️

'The Forgotten Human Impact of Yvette Cooper's Cruel Anti-Refugee Policies' The Home Secretary's decision to stop people fleeing from war and torture from reuniting with their families should shame this Government, argues refugee rights campaigner Nick Beales

Families belong together and are an essential part of rebuilding and healing.

For people whose lives have already been torn apart, supporting family reunification is a basic step to dignity.
