🚨 We are channelling our collective outrage into legal action against the cruel Rwanda scheme.
The govt has made it clear that it plans to act quickly.
The time to act is NOW and we need your urgent support. We are launching our CrowdJustice page: crowdjustice.com/case/fight-…

The @WelshGovernment has suspended the Welcome Ticket enabling refugees to contribute to their communities. We know money is tight but we agree with @Plaid_Cymru, @rccymru and @SwanseaCoS that this is a backward step.

Sri Lankan-born poet and essayist, Aruni McShane, shared her deeply moving and courageous life's journey and poetry that told of her experiences in her mother country and her new home here in Wales to a warm and attentive audience. Thanks to Aruni and our host Gilly Adams.

Hashi Mohamed, a former child refugee and now a successful barrister, methodically takes apart the Rwanda plan in two minutes 15 seconds and it's glorious.
