1/ Weβve got big news: RAMFEL is now Refugee and Migrant Justice.
What started as a small advice service in an East London church has grown into 1 of the UKβs largest providers of immigration advice & a leading national voice standing for the rights of migrants, refugees & people seeking asylum.
π’"Itβs like you have to choose between settlement and surviving."
Essential reading from @ramfel.bsky.social exposing how families are being punished simply for accessing the support they were legally entitled to.

1/ Coverage in @theguardian.com of our research on how the govt's so-called 'earned settlement model' will plunge racialised British children into poverty by punishing their parents for receiving basic state support.

Big news! @bma.org.uk now advising doctors not to engage with Palantir's NHS data platform! They say there must be a "complete break from Palantir technologies in the NHS", due to the company's track record, e.g. with ICE, and the risk to patient trust. www.bmj.com/content/392/...
But to win, we need even more support.
Raise awareness of this campaign to ensure Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) continues to do the right thing.

OUR CAMPAIGN IS WORKING πͺ§
We are delighted to announce that some nursing assistants have had salary increases to bring them in line with the new government thresholds. This means their jobs are safe and they can remain in the UK! π
THIS WOULDNβT HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT YOU. π§΅

To maximise their profits, private companies are delivering a system based on containment not care, harming the health of people seeking asylum.
Enough is enough. It's time to take a stand.

π’ @andyburnham.bsky.social agrees with us. Why doesnβt MFT?
Thanks to everyone who came out on Wednesday to oppose this injustice. But to win, we need even more support.

The Government is introducing the biggest immigration overhaul in 50 years. They want to make settling here harder than ever as part of a broader attack on migrants and refugees. Now, they're asking what YOU think of their plans.
Use our guide & speak up today.

Deadline: 9 Feb.
Amazing work π
@goodlawproject.bsky.social and @justtreatment.org set up a tool to help us check whether our local NHS trusts are adopting Palantir's software and, if so, to send an email calling on them to reject its use. Let's start emailing!

πMigrants Organise is 32 today! In 1993, Migrants Organise began and grew to become a bold movement for migrant justice. This film, made two year ago, shares our story.
Thank you for being on this journey with us- your solidarity is what keeps us going. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Clw...
Happy Birthday MO! Thanks for all you do to steer the #PatientsNotPassports movement forward βπ©Ί
Itβs down to us to take action.
Write to MFT now and call on them to intervene π patientsnotpassports.co.uk/what-do-we-d...
Weβre at a loss as to why Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) hasnβt intervened to stop this injustice.
Through their inaction, they are failing to uphold the values of respect, dignity and compassion that the NHS should represent.
WE CAME TO CARE - LET US STAY TO KEEP CARING! πͺ§
