Take action against Government’s new Nationality and Borders Bill

The new Nationality and Borders Bill will be debated in Parliament for the first time on 19 and 20 July – and we need you to ask your MP to speak out for refugees at this crucial moment.

The Nationality and Borders Bill treats those who are exercising their human right in seeking protection as criminals.

Thousands of vulnerable people who would currently be accepted as refugees will no longer be given safety in the UK due to the method of their arrival.

People seeking asylum whose claims are deemed ‘inadmissible’ will have to face a period of uncertainty before their application can be processed, ‘whilst the Government tried to remove them’. People will be held in reception centres that could be offshore, which is likely to have a significant impact on the mental health and well-being of already vulnerable people

Please write to your MP and join us in fighting these cruel changes.
