🚨❄ ASSIST Winter Solidarity Appeal is LIVE.
This winter is tougher than ever for people seeking asylum. Hostility is rising and this weekend’s devastating reforms would strip people of the rights they need to build a life in the UK.
Here in Sheffield we say not in our name!

Show solidarity this Welcome Weekend.
Crowds of protesters & far-right activists are rallying outside of hotels to stoke violence & intimidate refugees.
They want to force a narrative that pits refugees & our communities against each other.
We cant let that happen. 🧵
