Everybody deserves a safe place to live - and people seeking safety need dignity, not hostility.
The problem isn’t people. It’s the failed asylum system.
Hotels, barracks, barges - all dehumanising and unhelpful. About one in three people in asylum housing are survivors of torture.

Support the campaign! Please help save swifts with a simple swift nesting brick in homes. Appealing to 'Swifties' (people who like Taylor Swift, swifts and other small birds) and non Swifties (people who just like birds) alike here!
Swifts are incredible birds that migrate from Africa every year, but they are in serious decline and a major reason is because their nesting sites on buildings are under threat.
Tell the government that now is the time to act.

The UK has more than enough money to fund our public services and rebuild our infrastructure. But it's hoarded by a tiny minority.
The 50 richest families now hold more wealth than 50% of the population combined.
A tax on the wealth of the top 1% would raise over £70 billion.
