We are leaving Twitter/X. Despite calls for the platform to address a rise in hate speech, it allows it to thrive, fuelling far right violence & the targeting of refugees & safety seekers. It is not a safe space for our communities.

ALT We stand against racism, discrimination and hate, and so we are leaving Twitter/X as it is not a safe space for our communities.
ALT At the heart of our work is welcoming people who have been forced to flee their home in search of safety. Despite calls for the platform to address a rise in hate speech, Twitter/X has become a platform which allows hateful content to thrive, fuelling far right violence and the targeting of refugees and safety seekers. We can no longer engage with it going forward.

Two more lives tragically lost in the Channel—a stark reminder that these deaths are preventable.
We cannot normalise these tragedies. We need safe routes now - nobody should have to lose their life to seek safety

People seeking safety are often survivors of violence & recent attacks have caused fear & trauma for people already trying to recover.
But last night people all across the country came together to send a clear message: racism, Islamophobia and anti-refugee hate are not welcome.

"As people seeking sanctuary, we are human beings, we are also parents... We are not the perpetrators of violence, but the survivors of it."
Huge solidarity with Sanctuary Ambassador Martha who spoke in Cardiff this weekend ✊

People who care about the UK don’t burn libraries. They don’t attack people seeking safety from torture and war.
The thugs on our streets don’t represent who we are.
To our friends, neighbours & survivors who are most threatened by this hatred - we will always stand with you.

We've joined 80 organisations urging the Prime Minister to recall Parliament to address the scale of the crisis & ensure that communities are protected.
5 Aug 2024
With 80 anti-racist and migrant rights organisations, we've written to @Keir_Starmer asking for Parliament to be recalled to address the scale of this crisis.
The new govt must change the dial, and foster zero tolerance for far-right, racist and anti-migrant narratives.

After a weekend of shocking racist, Islamophobic violence, we want to state our support for and solidarity with our communities who are under attack. People seeking asylum, Muslims, and Black and brown people are being targeted in their homes, businesses, workplaces and mosques.
