In addition to the Labour Government has announced their intention to ramp up immigration enforcement, we have seen a rise in hostile demonstrations outside the hotels housing people seeking asylum. As well as protecting ourselves from raids, more detention and more deportations, we need to connect with each other and stay safe from the violence and the hatred whipped up by the minority of people.

Since last year, Right to Remain has been visiting different parts of the UK – Birmingham, Nottingham, Sheffield, Newcastle and Manchester – to explore what knowledge is needed in our communities, what radical solidarity could mean and what we should be doing now to build our communities’ collective power to resist immigration enforcement. In Liverpool, we will also hold space to explore our connections, our wins, our safety and our hope.

Join us in Liverpool on 23 September to build our collective power.

At this Solidarity Session, you will be learning about reporting and detention and thinking about how to build resistance against enforcement. We will be sharing what we have learned from acts of solidarity with people who are affected by the Hostile Environment, most recently our community member Fatou, who was detained for over two months and threatened with removal three times. We will also be discussing what safety means, what practical steps we can take to increase our sense of safety, in order to nurture our hope.

We want to use this opportunity to discuss deeply how we can be stronger together. We are still finalising the final programme, but we can promise plenty of time for connecting with others, interactive activities and time and space for asking questions and thinking.

The session will be facilitated by Right to Remain and These Walls Must Fall campaigners with lived-experience of the asylum and immigration system.
