Illegal Migration Bill: Not in Our Name

City of Sanctuary are co-sigantories on JCWI’s latest campaign – Not in Our Name. This is about showing opposition to the Illegal Migration Bill.

We all deserve to live safe from harm. But the Government’s newly passed Illegal Migration Act will have a devastating impact on people’s lives, causing immeasurable harm to people seeking sanctuary. It allows the Government to detain people – including children – indefinitely, and deport them to countries where their lives may be at risk. Read more about the new law here.

Your solidarity is needed more than ever. Please sign and share the open letter to the Prime Minister to condemn this Act, and join our movement to support people who want to make the UK their home.

In addition to the letter, we are holding a joint digital action on Monday 4th September at noon – to get involved is simple:

STEP 1
Take a picture of yourself holding a sign rejecting the government’s cruelty against migrants and refugees. Examples:

“THE GOVERNMENT IS BREAKING INTERNATIONAL LAW”

“NO TO THE ILLEGAL ACT”

STEP 2
Post your picture with the caption:

“The Inhumane Migration Act is #NotInOurName”

and share the link to our open letter to the Prime Minister: https://www.jcwi.org.uk/not-in-our-name-sign-our-open-letter-to-the-pm

Or feel free to pick your own message that aligns with your organisation so we can raise as much digital noise as possible!

STEP 3
Share this action with your friends so we can be as loud as possible.

Thank you for taking action to stand up for justice.
