SIX London councils have now said they will refuse to support the Home Office’s racist immigration raids. Thank you Lewisham, Lambeth, Southwark, Hackney, Waltham Forest and Haringey. These raids persecute migrants, tear apart our communities & seek to spread fear and division. We won’t let them.

This is not only tone deaf but actively dangerous language given 7 people were killed trying to cross the Channel in the last week, while French police attacked people on the beaches with tear gas. Borders kill. People need the same, safe routes as everyone else www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

“We are here to commemorate the lives of two people who died at the border.” “The lives lost are not accidents, they are victims of politics and political decisions.” Yesterday evening, we attended a commemoration in Calais for two people who died at the UK-France border.

We alongside hundreds of refugee & migration charities have offered the new Prime Minister a ‘blueprint to fix the broken asylum system’, urging him to ditch ‘gimmicks that waste taxpayers’ money’ in favour of a plan that’s ‘cheaper, more effective and more humane’. Swipe to read the full letter.

Last night, in a historic vote, Lewisham council voted to refuse to support Home Office immigration raids. JCWI is proud to have supported Lewisham councillors and Mayor to pass this, and we will work with them and other councils to grow this resistance. www.itv.com/news/london/...

French police are carrying out more cruel evictions at the border. But people are organising and fighting back! People mobilised on 12 June for a protest. When the evictions continued again in early July, people resisted again. Read about people organising to prevent tractors coming in.

What’s the difference between Farage and Mahmood? Both are attacking migrants. Use the link in our bio to write to your MP NOW and stop the sinister Immigration and Asylum Bill, which will be debated and voted on in Parliament on Monday.

After six years of struggle, we have secured immigration status for a child who has lived in the UK their entire life. The hostile environment continues to inflict needless hardship on children and families. Join us in dismantling the hostile environment.

We wrote to Andy Burnham demanding answers on his contradictory positions on migration and foreign policy. Read the Morning Star article covering our letter. At JCWI, we're not waiting for career politicians to enact migrant justice. We're building a movement and enacting it for ourselves.
