  • Roots of Refuge

    This is part 2 of our JustCitizens episode of the Our Rights Stories podcast created and developed by the JustRight Scotland team.  

     
    In this episode we talk about the impact of the [Illegal] Migration bill on our communities, what our JustCitizens members are doing to help migrants and refugees despite the hostile UK Government’s immigration policies and at ways we can react all together by supporting each other's including with the upcoming celebration of Refugee Festival Scotland and our Roots of Refuge event.  
    Our free family friendly event organised in partnership with JustCitizens will take place on Thursday 22nd June at the Hidden Gardens in the southside of Glasgow, from 4pm to 7pm. 

    Open to people, communities and organisations across the country, our event will focus on sharing stories of hope and celebration from migrants who have chosen to make Scotland their home.

  • Refugee Ban Bill Pt. 2

    This is part 2 of our Refugee Ban Bill episode of the Our Rights Stories podcast created and developed by the JustRight Scotland team. This episode continues to look at the [Illegal] Migration bill as it's being discussed in the House of Lords with our guest speakers Andy Sirel, Legal Director at JustRight Scotland and Graham O’Neill, Policy Manager at the Scottish Refugee Council. We are focusing on this topic as part of our Scottish campaign which aims to stop the #RefugeeBanBill and get other organisations involved in this call to reject the Bill and focus instead on how we can build a better future for welcoming refugees in Scotland.
