Refugee Action

We will no longer be posting on or using X.

Please find us instead on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/refuge…, and our other social media platforms.

Please note, our supporter care response times will be slower than usual today and tomorrow (November 11-12).

This is because Refugee Action is hosting an all-staff conference, where many colleagues will be attending and away from the phonelines.

People need safe routes to reach the UK, so they don’t have to put their lives at risk in dangerous journeys.

Hostile border policies based on “security" have always failed. They ultimately result in more people dying in the channel - mostly people of colour from countries affected by British Colonial rule.

There is another way. Our Head of Campaigns, Asli, tells LBC @LBCNews

Along with hundreds of thousands of you, we stand with refugees and always will.

The news that Donald Trump will be America’s president is terrifying. We won’t sugarcoat it. For those of you who met the news with anger, frustration and fear - we’re with you, we feel it too.

We need to talk about racism in the asylum system.

In Black History Month, we launched our Racial Justice Report in Manchester. The event was led with @VoiceRas - a group of refugees who are all experts in the UK’s hostile asylum system because of their own experience of it.
