Papers for all is a campaign calling for the right of asylum seekers and other migrants to stay in the UK, whatever country they come from and however long they have been here. We think one way to support people who are fighting to stay here could be to campaign for an amnesty or regularisation. We would like to hear what you think about an amnesty or regularisation, and we would love for you to get involved in the campaign. We think a campaign for migrants’ rights should always give migrants a chance to speak and shape the future direction of the campaign.

Unlike some of the other campaigns calling for an amnesty/regularisation, we do not believe there should be any conditions or exceptions attached to an amnesty. We believe everybody should get the right to stay, not just a few. But we would like to see what you think. Please let us know by filling the questionnaire below. We will be holding a Speak-Out event early nest year where some of the responses will be read out, and you would be very welcome to come along to that and share your views.

The Papers for All coalition includes: All Women’s Group, Barbed Wire Britain, Bolivia Solidarity Campaign, Campaign to Close Campsfield, Coalition to Stop Deportation to Iraq, Colombia Solidarity Campaign, Congo Support Project, Day-Mer Halkevi Turkish Community Centre, Ecuatorian Movement in the UK, Latin American Community Association, Legal Action for Women, Women of Colour in the Global Women’s Strike, London No Borders.

We are calling for:
- Regularisation for all migrants. No one is illegal
- The closure of all detention centres, because moving country is not a crime
- An end to all deportations & the externalisation process turning countries on the edges of the EU into holding camps.
- Full labour tights for all workers, independently of their migration status. Stop pitching workers against each other.
- And end to the apartheid system of benefits, health care, housing
- And legal representation, and the deliberate policy of destitution for asylum seekers whose case have been refused.
- Official recognition of rape as torture and persecution
