This session is aimed at people facing deportation who are interested in setting up a public anti-deportation campaign, and those who are interested in supporting such campaigns. We will cover often-asked questions like …

Why have an anti-deportation campaign ?
What is meant by a “public” campaign ?
What is the purpose of an anti-deportation campaign ?
How does a campaign effect my legal case ?
Is a campaign guaranteed to work ?
When should I start a campaign ?
Who should be in the campaign ?
Who is responsible for the campaign ?
What should the campaign do ?
Can we join up with other campaigns ?

There will be a chance to discuss benefits of starting a campaign, what it will take to set up and run a campaign, and any concerns you have about putting yourself and your campaign group into the public eye.

It will be an informal environment and you will be able to chat with the local co-ordinator of NCADC, some people who have run their own anti-deportation campaigns, and others who are interested in setting up campaigns.

Refreshments and snack food provided.
