🚨 BREAKING: This Government's cruel Rwanda Bill has just passed

Today will forever leave a stain on the UK’s moral reputation.

The UK has an obligation to provide safety to refugees. It's now vital that flights to Rwanda do not leave the tarmac.

Our new window stickers are for Sanctuary awarded orgs - this is about making clear how many orgs at the heart of our communities are calling for a new compassionate approach to refugees.

🚨The cruel #Rwanda Bill returns to the House of Commons today.

People seeking safety in the UK should be treated with compassion.

No-one should be forcibly deported to Rwanda, or anywhere else.

This Bill will only cause further harm to already vulnerable individuals.

We're concerned about the end of the Welcome Ticket scheme for refugees in Wales. Join us, alongside Swansea Asylum Seekers Support, ILA-WALES CIC, and SwanseaCVS, in advocating for continuity of support and addressing discrimination issues.

Read our statement: swansea.cityofsanctuary.org/2024/04/09/end…

The Welsh Government has suspended the Welcome Ticket enabling refugees to contribute to their communities. We know money is tight but we agree with Plaid Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, @rccymru and Swansea City of Sanctuary 🧡 that this is a backward step.
