Dear Supporters,
Join us at the rally in Parliament Square this Monday!
As always, thank you so much for being part of this campaign and showing your support for refugee children. We are in a critical time for this issue, and it is more important than ever that we make our voices heard!
Please join us and Safe Passage, this coming Monday at 1pm in Parliament Square, to call on peers to back an amendment to protect family reunification. The House of Lords will be voting this coming week on the amendment to protect child refugees following the UK's withdrawal from the EU: if we all show up in numbers, we will send a message that child refugees matter, and we need to protect them.
Many ministers and peers have suggested they do not want to support this amendment, as it would reduce the UK's ability to negotiate a deal with the EU: this is incredibly worrying. Refugee children are not bargaining chips. They need and deserve to be protected.
Please join us on Monday to show your support.
If you can't make it to the rally, you can also help by chipping in to offset the costs of the event run by Safe Passage: https://safe-passage-c.fundraise.tech/one-off/?link_id=4&can_id=bf8081d803d922539330fa66a2c6ad10&source=email-event-protect-refugee-children-rally&email_referrer=email_699665&email_subject=event-protect-refugee-children-rally
And don't forget to keep sharing the petition so we can continue to grow!
Thank you all - in peace and solidarity,
