Ce soir, encore. Nous nous réunissons pour ceux et celles qui ont perdu la vie à la frontière franco-britannique. La France doit reconnaître la situation d’urgence humanitaire du littoral, ainsi que l’inefficacité coupable de sa politique meurtrière.

This weekend, eight people were killed seeking safety in the UK. Or thoughts and solidarity are with all those affected, and all those who lost loved ones. The policies governing our border epitomise a politics devoid of empathy and humanity - a politics which must change.

As children across Europe settle back into school, hundreds of refugee children living in northern France don’t have access to education or spaces to play. Project Play is working to change this. This autumn, support #PlayForEveryChild: project-play.org/every-child

Yesterday, 12 people were killed seeking safety in the UK - among them, 6 children. Seeking asylum is a human right. No-one should have to risk their lives to access safety. Deaths on our borders must not become normalised. These are human lives, not numbers.

This weekend, five people were killed as they sought safety in the UK. These deaths are the result of the relentless pursuit of hostile border polices by France and the UK. No-one should have to risk their lives seeking safety. In solidarity and anger - always.

"The “severe cold plan” is nothing other than a vast communications operation which allows the State to abandon its duties at the sight of the first snowflakes. The right to accommodation is unconditional at all times and in all weathers."

Le "plan grand froid" n’est rien d’autre qu’une vaste opération de com' qui permet à l’État de se défausser de ses devoirs à la vue des premiers flocons de neige. Le droit à un hébergement est inconditionnel tout le temps et par tous les temps.

We have been told that several evictions have been going on, and are still in progress in Grande Synthe and Calais today. It seems that camps have been destroyed: tents and personal belongings are being thrown away, forcing people out into the cold.

We urge the French authorities to stop these violent eviction operations and respect human rights. 📢 We urge the UK government to stop supporting these violent evictions with UK taxpayer money.
