Just after we sorted out our website in February, the world took a strange and difficult turn (you might have noticed). So we haven’t been posting updates here, because we haven’t been able to do most of the things we would normally do. But we’re still doing as much campaigning as we can online, so give us a shout if you want to find out more or get involved. And hopefully soon we’ll be able to get back to campaigning in the real world…watch this space.

And we’re back…
Hi folks. If you’ve looked at this page over the last few months you’ll have noticed that it hasn’t changed. Apologies for that – we’ve been having some difficulties with the website and haven’t been able to update it. We’re back to normal now, though, so watch this space for new stuff we’re doing in 2020. And you can always follow us on Facebook for more regular updates.
Glasgow Mela 2019 – Time for a Time Limit
Great day at the Glasgow Mela on Sunday, closing out this year’s Refugee Festival Scotland. Refuweegee, Refugee Survival Trust and Scottish Detainee Visitors represented as well.
We collected hundreds of signatures to end the hostile environment around migration. You can sign the petition here:
Also, loads of selfies saying #time4atimelimit and to #endindefinitedetention for migrants in the UK, the only country in Europe where indefinite detention for migrants is still ongoing. Take you own selfie and send it to the Home Secretary and your local MP to call for a 28 day limit on detention.
Toxic US-UK Trade Deals – Act Now
On the Byres Road outside Hillhead Library on Saturday, 8th June, talking to people about a US-UK trade deal that could see chlorinated chicken on our supermarket shelves, US corporations in our NHS and a whole raft of our laws and regulations challenged in international corporate courts.
With Theresa May stepping down, this is even more likely under her successor.We can’t let that happen. Sign the petition to oppose a toxic US-UK trade deal now:

We also had a visit from Patrick Grady, MP for Glasgow North to give his support!
May Day May Day!
A good day out with our friends from the Unions for the May Day March and Rally earlier this month. Shame there wasn’t more wind to keep the flag flying properly!
In this mad Brexit
Trump infested
Truth defying
Media lying
Migrant hating
Fear creating
Greed infecting
Poor rejecting
Hope depriving
Corporate thriving world
We get up each morning and
seek justice.
