On 2 November 2026, the government published its response to the ‘earned’ settlement consultation, explaining the  changes it plans to introduce, which will make it significantly harder for our community of migrants, refugees, people seeking safety and their family to secure stability and safety in the UK. Despite strong opposition from people and organisations across the UK, the government has kept most of its original proposals. 

While the ‘earned’ settlement plans will affect individuals differently depending on their circumstances, it will disrupt everyone’s life plans and push many further into precarity. In fact, the impact will be felt by everyone in our community, regardless of their immigration status – because migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum are already part of our society. Because we all belong.

Right to Remain and These Walls Must Fall will be in Manchester on 3 December to reaffirm our shared belonging and radical solidarity, and to discuss how we can fight against the plan together. We will explore what knowledge our communities need to prepare for this upheaval, what radical solidarity could mean in this context, and what we should be doing now to build our communities’ collective power. There will be time and space for connecting with others, asking questions, and reflection.

We are asking for a contribution of £10 from organisations wishing to join us. People currently navigating the asylum or immigration system can join for free.

A light lunch will be provided. We will send you the venue instructions nearer the date.
