MORE THAN 200 REFUGEE CHARITIES ‘STAND TOGETHER’ IN JOINT RESPONSE TO ANTI-MIGRANT VIOLENCE
This week, we were proud to join over 240 orgs to call for communities & the country to be brought together for a different way forward – one that's compassionate & united.
This must be a turning point.
#TogetherWithRefugees
The full statement: As organisations based across the UK working with refugees and migrants, we are deeply shocked and devastated by these horrific acts of violence. Racism, Islamophobia and hatred against migrants have no place in our country.
We stand in solidarity with the men, women and children affected, many of whom have already fled unimaginable horrors to try to find safety. And we stand together as a sector and with our communities to offer support. We know that these views and acts of violence do not represent the vast majority of people in this country.
It is right that the government has clearly condemned these attacks. But we urgently need action, today, to ensure that local authorities have the right resources to ensure those under threat of attack in asylum accommodation, refugee service centres and places of worship are properly protected.
This moment must mark a turning point, away from the divisive politics, racist rhetoric and demonising language of the past. Now is an opportunity to bring communities and the country together for a different way forward – one that is compassionate and united.
