As part of the Still Human Still Here campaign to change the Government policy of making people refused asylum destitute, 17 events have been organised across Britain. Centred on Friday 22 June.
The events are coordinated by Church Action on Poverty, Amnesty International UK and the Refugee Council nationally and many local organisations. They highlight the plight of thousands of people refused asylum who are being deliberately made destitute by government policy.
The Sleepouts are an easy and effective way to raise awareness in local areas that this immoral and ineffective government policy is not working, and it carries a devastating human cost. The events are targeting the media and politicians locally.
In London the list includes:
North East, Friday 22 June
North West (Golders Green), Saturday 23 June
South (Brixton), Friday 22 June
