Dear all
I'm sure you've heard the news that the Government has committed to resettling refugees and I think we helped them make this decision through this petition. However, its not the offer that Canada made and its not enough, we need 20k places now, not over the next few years.
Today I went to parliament square and met some interpreters who worked alongside our soldiers in Afghanistan, they told me about their fears for their families who are still stranded as well as former colleagues who've not made it out.
I know I've asked a lot, but if you would share this petition again, and write to your MP, we can ensure that people like Rafi, one of the interpreters I met, can be reunited with their families.
Thank you
Emma
