Ask your MP to oppose the hostile environment & let refugee families reunite

⚠️ Next week, MPs will vote on crucial changes to the Government’s new immigration bill that could scrap the cruel refugee citizenship ban and let more refugee families reunite.

This could be a turning point, but only if enough MPs back it

From Glasgow to Devon, Derbyshire to Wales, thousands of us have already spoken up about the Bill. And it’s working — some MPs are already stepping up.

Now’s the time to turn up the pressure. Email your MP today — let’s make sure they vote for compassion, not hostility.

  • What's happening?

    The Government's new policies are just another chapter of the hostile environment and continue the same failed, security-over-humanity approach:

    👉A new immigration bill that focuses on border security without protection and dangerous new enforcement measures that could harm refugees.

    👉 Banning most refugees from ever getting citizenship, framing them as second-class individuals

    👉 No commitment to safe routes, leaving refugees with no choice but to risk their lives with smugglers.

    👉 Live broadcasts of deportations that risks fuelling hate and division.

     

    • What's wrong with this approach?
      ❌ It punishes refugees for a broken system: Banning refugees from citizenship and ramping up border crackdowns won’t stop dangerous journeys – it will only make life harder for people seeking safety.

       

      ❌ It puts border security before humanity: Tougher policing treats immigration as a security risk, sending the message that refugees are a problem to be contained, not people who need safety.

      ❌ It doesn’t stop the smugglers: Right now, there is no visa or process for refugees to apply for asylum unless they arrive in the UK first, leaving them with nowhere to turn but smugglers to get to the UK. Opening safe routes is the only way to end this cruel business.

      We need to pressure MPs to use this bill as an opportunity to reform the system and put compassion at its heart. Use our tool to write to your MP now.

       

      • What you can do

        Some MPs are already pushing back against the Government's refugee citizenship ban and security-first approach. We're close to achieving real change for refugees, but we need your voice to make it happen. Ask your MP to take action to:

        ✅ Scrap the cruel refugee citizenship ban

        ✅ Build a refugee system rooted in compassion, not punishment

        ✅ Let refugee families reunite, without having to rely on smugglers.

        📢 Stay in the loop. Follow us on social media and sign up to our mailing list for more ways to take action.

        We can’t let this opportunity slip by. Let’s keep the pressure on and fight to end the hostile system for good.
