You're enthusiastically invited to our Parliament Protest Picnic on Saturday 11th at 1pm at Parliament Square - of course!
We'd love to gather a whole bunch of friends, family and supporters for a picnic and photo opportunity. Ben and I will strictly be on our Red Cross Food Parcel food but please bring along whatever you'd like to eat and a picnic rug. We'll also take some photo's of you holding some of our banners and wearing our StillHumanStillHere T-shirts, if that's alright?!
If you haven't been to visit us yet, here's your opportunity to find out more about the plight of refused asylum seekers in Britain.
Please bring some of your friends too, the more the merrier! See you Saturday! http://asylumstories.co.uk/protest/2008/10/07/parliament-protest-picnic/
The Still Human Still Here campaign is dedicated to highlighting the plight of tens of thousands of refused asylum seekers who are being forced into abject poverty in an attempt to drive them out of the country.
Supporters of the campaign believe that the denial of any means of subsistence to refused asylum seekers as a matter of government policy is both inhumane and ineffective.
We are calling on the Government to:
End the threat and use of destitution as a tool of Government policy against refused asylum seekers
Continue financial support and accommodation to refused asylum seekers as provided during the asylum process and grant permission to work until such a time as they have left the UK or have been granted leave to remain
Continue to provide full access to health care and education throughout the same period
