📣EMERGENCY RALLY - SATURDAY 17 OCTOBER 📣

BRIGHTON SAYS YES - STAND WITH PEOPLE SEEKING ASYLUM IN BRIGHTON AND HOVE

📍 Meet: 11am @ Peace Statue (Edward VII Memorial)
📅 Saturday 17 October

The Home Office are trying to force refugees out of our city, and this month plan to close hotel accommodation for people seeking asylum in Brighton,
where around 15 single women and families seeking asylum are housed.

The Home Office plans to move them away from the city and scatter across the country, including to towns where far-right racists are attacking refugees.

We must stand together as a community and resist. We call on all Brighton residents to help provide short term emergency accommodation - by donating to the fundraiser or offering a room!

Join our demonstration on Saturday to show the council that BRIGHTON SAYS YES to people seeking asylum and refugees, and demand action to keep our neighbours here in Brighton.

Bring music, banners, friends and family!

Migrants solidarity forever!
Brighton is antifascist!
Stand together now!

EMERGENCY PUBLIC MEETING*
*Brighton says Yes!*
Tuesday 6 October, 7.15 PM
Cornerstone Community Centre, Church Road, Hove BN3 2FL
*We all belong in Brighton!*
The Home Office is trying to force refugees out of our city. It plans to close the hotel where families and single women seeking asylum are currently housed, and scatter them away from the city. Including to towns where far right racists are attacking refugees.
So we, a coalition of community groups and Brighton residents, are launching this campaign to get them safe, stable housing in Brighton.
We are demanding that the City Council steps up and helps us find permanent homes. We also call on all Brighton residents to help us provide short term emergency accommodation. Together we can do this.
The hotel residents are our neighbours. Their lives, friends and support networks are here with us in Brighton. Babies have been born here, friendships made. They are part of our community. We will not let them be scattered to unknown locations across the UK, including to towns where refugees are under attack.
At a time where ugly racism is on the rise again, we will defend our neighbours and make sure Brighton lives up to its status as a "Sanctuary City". Our city, with all its empty investment properties and AirBnBs, cannot be too "rich" to shelter those in need.
*Join us. Please come to the meeting, bring your solidarity and ideas for action.*
