Thank you everyone who has signed and shared the petition which has now reached over 13,000 online signatures. What can we do now? It is important that we keep pressure on the Home Office and Government. A Government petition has also started and if it hits 10,000 signatures will trigger a necessary response from the Government. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/216539 In addition it is important that we can get the relevant information to vulnerable people. We have launched a Facebook page where we will also post updates and where people can also get in touch and post other information. https://www.facebook.com/JAmnesty-UK-Legal-recognition-for-children-of-Windrush-1803654299930090/ We will be posting out a legal fact sheet as well as a template letter to send to MPs later this week. In June it will be 70 years since Windrush – the ship that brought a wave of Caribbean immigrants to the UK. Eager, proud and ready to work, this Windrush generation were met with hostility, hate and sub standard living conditions but non the less worked hard not only to improve their economic conditions and that of Britain but they also embellished British culture and left a huge cultural legacy. Their contribution like that of their ancestors who were colonized and enslaved enabled the modern development of Great Britain, from fuelling the industrial revolution to sound system culture, language and food – the contribution has been immense and it makes it all the more difficult to not take offence to these latest actions by the Home Office. But together we can push for the change that is needed and we must keep pushing for that change.
