Sunak and Cleverly still promote their ‘stop the boats’ campaign and plan emergency legislation to push the racist Rwanda deportation plan after it’s defeat in the courts. They are attacking migrant workers, threatening to limit or ban family members coming to Britain and imposing a vastly higher salary threshold for skilled workers. The appalling Windrush scandal is continuing. They also want to scapegoat Muslim, Gypsy Roma and Traveller (GRT) communities, LGBT+ people and other communities. Government racism is opening the door to the far right. They gave the green light to fascist Tommy Robinson and others to mobilise when Sunak and Braverman talked up an imaginary ‘threat’ to the cenotaph in London. We’ve seen racist and fascist groups violently targeting refugee accommodation. We can’t let racism divide us. Join us on Monday 18 December – the UN international day of the migrant – to celebrate our diversity and say refugees and migrants welcome, at the alternative Home Office Xmas Party. Please bring coats and donations for Care4Calais. Care4Calais and Stand Up Racism are working together again this year to support refugees in Calais & in Britain over the winter. Please get involved & donate.Despite government scapegoating we need to make #RefugeesWelcome a reality. Coats4Calais: Help keep a refugee warm this winter Right now in northern France, 2000 refugees are sleeping rough. Temperatures are rapidly dropping, and police actions against refugees are worse than ever.Many are facing a long, cold winter without even a decent coat to keep them warm and dry. So this year our goal is to provide each and every one of these refugees with a warm winter coat. And to do this we urgently need your help. We’re asking everyone who cares to look in your cupboards for a winter coat that you no longer wear. Then donate your coat at your nearest drop-off point and we’ll make sure it gets to Calais, to someone who needs it. Follow our progress on social media with #Coats4Calais – you might even spot your coat getting its second life! If you don’t have a coat to donate you can buy a coat to keep a refugee warm all winter for just £25 here To start a collection download a poster or leaflet here and see here for more information. Let’s keep everyone warm this winter!
