Migrants Organise

@migrantsorganise.bsky.social

Migrants Organise is a grassroots platform where migrants and refugees organise for justice. In 1993 we came to life in living rooms across West London, where migrant leaders would provide support to their communities. www.migrantsorganise.org

Following our community consultation on lived experiences of the legal aid crisis, we hosted an event for our referral partners on how they can support people to navigate the crisis in immigration advice, and how we can stand up to fight for better access to justice. 1/

⚽️ Football ⚽️ The last few weeks showed us that there is community in football. But for us, it goes beyond the stadiums! After a break, our Football Group has been reignited for a 4 week stint - and we needed this! For us football is a reminder that even in displacement, community can be rebuilt⚽️

“I know one person at the hotel [who] was in the middle of chemotherapy treatment for cancer who has been moved far away from the hospital they were receiving treatment at.” 💔 We are not pawns to be moved or detained at every political whim. We are human beings deserving of safety and dignity.

🎯🎯 “The Home Office just don’t care what happens to us” “Home Office don’t take people’s suffering into account” Truth from people trapped in the asylum system, stuck in awful hotels, desperate to rebuild their lives & completely dehumanised by the Home Office. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Our members know the horrific pain of being separated from their loved ones. Data from @refugeecouncil.bsky.social show that 16,000 refugees have been separated from families in the UK due to the government pausing the family reunion scheme. Cruelty by design. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

More than 16,000 refugees unable to reunite with families in UK, says Refugee Council

Suspension of family reunion route has left many stuck in conflict zones or using people smugglers to reach safety

We won't retreat! In recent years we and many other charities have been made so unsafe, but for our members it's even worse. Their lives are impacted by policies designed to do harm, in order to appease the far right. Well done @cityofsanctuaryuk.bsky.social for speaking out.

Last summer we experienced a sustained and terrifying misinformation campaign. @tbij.bsky.social has just laid bare the ecosystem which generated, amplified and profited from it. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

In the final days of Keir Starmer’s leadership, his government is trying to force through yet another cruel and divisive asylum law. It won't stop Channel crossings or fix the broken asylum system. The new Prime Minister must scrap this bill as a first port of call.

White text on a black background stating: "Another PM leaving No. 10. Another immigration bill. Another political stunt." Below are three news article thumbnails. The first, from The Guardian, with the headline: "Asylum seekers to pay £10,000 towards living costs under new UK law.", and a photo of the home sec Shabana Mahmood. The second, from The Sunday Guardian, with the headline: "UK's New Immigration Bill: What is the New Asylum Rule?" The third from the BBC, with the headline "Refugees told to repay around £10,000 under new asylum rules."

Last night our friends in Belfast showed up for their community, taking action in solidarity to get targeted families out of danger from racist attacks. They are now raising funds to support those who have been impacted—please donate and share. chuffed.org/project/1854...

We are raising funds to support people who have been attacked, displaced and traumatised in racist attacks in Belfast.

Families belong together, but analysis from the British Red Cross show how every month, hundreds of children remain separated from their families. The government's cruel suspension of refugee family reunion must end now ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Hundreds of children affected by UK’s halting of refugee family reunion, says Red Cross

Charity estimates up to 1,360 children could remain separated from families for every month the suspension continues

The BBC 'reports' on queer migrants fail on at least 4 of its own guidelines: • Failure to “achieve due accuracy; • Insufficient sourcing & evidence; • Lack of fairness to those its output is about; • Lack of context (2024 review): #TakeAction with @migrantsorganise.bsky.social's tool
