As we sit in our Sukkot this week, let us remember those whose homes are fragile or lost, those seeking refuge, & those who live under the shadow of hatred. Let us recommit to building a society rooted in compassion, justice & welcome.

Today, as we mark 25 years of the #HumanRightsAct, we remember the victims of yesterday’s synagogue attack in Manchester. In the face of hatred, we recommit to the laws that protect us: the right to security, dignity, faith, and community.

✨🌎Imagine a better world...

One where dignity, safety, & justice are not privileges, but rights for all. The UK government is committed to advancing #HumanRights & ensuring no one is left behind. A better world is possible if we choose to create it together.

We've joined over 100 organisations calling on the new Home Secretary to unite communities.

Scapegoating refugees won’t fix inequality, housing shortages, or a crumbling NHS. Real solutions will. Read our open letter here: www.refugee-action.org.uk/OpenLetterHo...

#RoshHashanah marks the beginning of the Jewish #NewYear, a time for reflection, renewal & recommitment.

We renew our promise to uphold #HumanRights, & stand in solidarity with marginalised communities in the UK.

May this new year be sweeter, more just & more compassionate.
