In collaboration with Bradford City of Sanctuary, Refugee Action, Bevan House, Asylum Matters, British Red Cross and Beacon, we are launching the Lift the Ban Bradford Campaign Launch!
📅Thursday 24th July
🕖10am to 1pm
📍Grange Interlink, Summerville Road, BD7 1PX.
About Lift the Ban Campaign:
In the UK, people seeking refugee status are banned from working while they wait months, and often years, for a decision on their asylum claim. It is important that those people who have risked everything to find safety should have the best chance of rebuilding their lives and becoming part of the community. This means giving people seeking asylum the right to work so that they can use their skills and live in dignity. The Lift the Ban coalition is working to change this!
You will have the fantastic opportunity to:
Hear from sanctuary seekers about their stories, skills and dreams
Learn how this law impacts Bradford's community and economy
Learn about ways to show your support and join the campaign
It is time to stand in solidarity with refugees and asylum seekers and organise against the hostile environment!
