Join our Manchester gathering on Tuesday 27 October, 1pm – 4pm. The exact location will be sent to you closer to the event.

What’s happening

We’re holding a community screening of the award-winning documentary Everybody to Kenmure Street, which tells the story of Glasgow residents coming together against immigration enforcement. After the film there will be a panel discussion with people who have lived experience of the hostile environment and immigration enforcement. Speakers come from GMIAU, WAST, Refugee Action and the Droylsden community.

There will also be time to reflect, connect and eat together. The event is free and open to everyone, and we particularly encourage people with lived experience of the immigration system, and those providing mutual aid in their communities.

Two more ways to help

Sign the petition. It takes two minutes. Add your name to stop the expansion of Campsfield and Haslar, then share it and talk to the people around you about how detention affects us all.

Endorse our statement. Both expansions are going to public inquiry, and we’re telling the Planning Inspector there’s no proven need for more detention spaces and that expansion will harm communities. If you’re part of a group or organisation, please endorse our arguments.

The National Week of Solidarity to End Immigration Detention will run from 19–25 October 2026. For one week, we’re calling on communities across the country to organise actions, events and creative interventions, to demand an end to immigration detention and to stand in solidarity with people harmed by the harshness of the immigration system.

Tell us what you’re planning – we want to hear your ideas! Let us know if you’re thinking about organising an action so that we can connect you to people in your area and help amplify your event.
