Help Protect Refugees and Freedom of Movement: 

Video to Watch and Share

Freedom of Movement has given British and EU citizens opportunities that have changed their lives. Now it’s under threat as part of the Brexit negotiations - residents in Walthamstow have helped make a short film of people who know first-hand the difference it has made to help show this impact. Thank you to all those who took part in making this film. Please help us fight to ensure the Government does not behind closed doors remove these rights, or the rights covering refugees and child refugees who are eligible to come to the UK via the Dubs transfer scheme by sharing this short film on your social media. 

Please also ask friends and family who live in other areas of Britain to watch this film and to share it with their MP and ask them to sign Amendment 332 to the EU Withdrawal Bill. 

A reminder too, that on Saturday 9th December I will be travelling to Calais to take donations of warm clothes and bedding equipment to refugees sleeping rough in Northern France. If you would like to donate items for refugees please bring them to my office at 23 Orford Road E17 9NL before Friday 8th December during office hours.
