Dear Supporter 

Time is running out for those with removal notices so alongside legal challenges we need to do everything  we can to keep uo the pressure.


Over 11600 of you have signed our petition  in just 4 days, thank you.


In addition  to our own actions and protests, those with removal notices for Wednesday's flight to Zimbabwe, currently held at Brook House Immigration Removal Centre are on hunger strike.


To show solidarity  with them please tweet/ post on facebook / instagram: 
#Solidarity with the #Zimbabwe150 hunger strikers at Brook House detention centre. #stoptheplane 


We have received support from the Black and Asian Lawyers for Justice Group adding to the wide range of organisations  who are supporting  this campaign.


Paul Blomfield MP together with other MPs has written to the government calling on them to #stoptheplane. https://twitter.com/PaulBlomfieldMP/status/1417159710457925641?s=19
