1 in 3 children living in deep poverty are migrant children. This is not a coincidence. End child poverty, for EVERY child. Scrap No Recourse to Public Funds. Please watch and share @praxisprojects.bsky.social's video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d9Y...

BREAKING: We screened a message from migrant parents across Westminster. Hostile immigration rules enforced by this Govt. drive children into poverty. 🔊End child poverty, for EVERY child. Scrap No Recourse to Public Funds. Make sure they know, we won’t let this go. Share now. youtu.be/0d9YPGlFzC0

Today’s rough sleeping statistics reveal migrant communities continue to be hugely overrepresented among rough sleepers (Autumn 2024). This is not a surprise. Hostile immigration rules push people into deep poverty and onto the streets. Here’s what you need to know🧵

"No recourse to public funds is targeting people of colour. We are treated like second-class citizens because we are migrants. What will it take for this country to value our contributions?" Read full article from Uche*, parent and campaigner at Praxis, below. *name changed

Huge thanks to @migrationmuseum.org for inviting GIANTS, our community group for men, for a visit!🧡

⚠️Children are TWICE as likely to be living in poverty if their parents were born outside the UK.⁠ ⁠ That’s not a coincidence. As campaigner Esther explains, hostile immigration rules drive migrant families into poverty at a disproportionate rate.⁠ Watch & share 👇 youtube.com/shorts/qVVwS...

We joined over 100 orgs & leaders to call for an urgent reversal of the citizenship ban for refugees. ⁠ "It risks playing into a toxic politics that pits ‘us vs them’ and is then manipulated by the far right to bring hate and disorder to our streets." Read more👇 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

It isn't a "loophole" it's an application of the law. Every refugee case should be heard on a case by case basis. That's the right thing to do. A functioning asylum system hears those cases and grants people status. It doesn't matter which route is used. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cruel gimmicks to placate a small minority of far-right voices is not the way forward. It's not only out-of-tune with what most Brits want, but also incredibly dangerous. We’re just six months on from racist riots where people of colour were attacked and asylum hotels set alight.

New Home Office guidance bars most ppl who entered illegally from citizenship (Existing legislation – IMA – did basically the same thing in a different way. This keeps same principle in place despite proposed repeal of much of IMA) Main group affected will be people with refugee status 🧵

⚠️A huge number of refugees could be blocked from becoming citizens. Faced with no alternative route, people fleeing persecution are forced to take dangerous journeys to reach the UK. Home Office guidance has now been amended to block them from naturalisation. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...

London's economy relies on migrant workers. But despite the vital role that migrants play, they face a complicated and punitive immigration system that often pushes people into destitution. NRPF is one such policy – denying welfare support to about 3.4m people & pushing many into poverty.

Hostile immigration rules drive migrant families into poverty at a disproportionate rate. Right now, the Govt. is writing their child poverty strategy. If they're serious about ending poverty for ALL children, including migrant children, here's how they can do it👇 www.praxis.org.uk/learn/how-th...

Hey Kemi👋 No Recourse to Public Funds ALREADY denies millions of people access to a safety net, even in a crisis. Every day we see how these policies push families to the brink and into poverty. You can learn more 👇 www.praxis.org.uk/learn/explai...

Kemi Badenoch was born British in 1980 before birthright citizenship was abolished in 1983. Today’s announcements are just the next iteration of cruel, costly and ineffective policies that stoke division in communities. People move, always have & always will. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Dehumanising and divisive language has become normalised in the conversation about migration, and has seeped into our policies and laws. Inflammatory language and hostility emboldens the far-right. There is another way. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Right now, billionaires are targeting democracy, the far-right are gaining ground, and record levels of migrants and refugees are experiencing homelessness. But we're fighting back. Join us and sign up to emails for urgent campaign actions and resources. act.praxis.org.uk/join?utm_med...

"For too long, the response to Channel crossings has focused on deterrence and enforcement, without addressing the root causes. Without them, refugees fleeing war and persecution have no viable alternatives. Deaths in the Channel are preventable." www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic... - Lord Dubs

Imagine living in the UK for 50 years, raising your children here, yet still fearing destitution and deportation because your immigration status has not been resolved by the government. Shockingly, the legacy of the Windrush scandal continues for many. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

🚨The Home Office's chaotic eVisa rollout is leaving newly recognised refugees at risk of destitution. Soon millions of people will only have this online, often faulty system to prove their rights to basic services. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

In the week marking six months since the racist riots, with over 60 other organisations we're calling on the government to take action on the growing threat of the far right. It's time our politicians lead by example, in policy and in practice. Read our joint statement 👉 ow.ly/iNw150UPuVw

The Faragist, machismo ‘Stop the Boats’ and ‘Smash the Gangs’ approach so far has led to a record-breaking level of fatalities at our border. We’re deeply concerned Labour’s new Bill will lead to yet more loss of life. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/01/l...

This bill will not fix the asylum system or heal the communities that have been broken and divided by decades of hostile laws and racist rhetoric that have targeted migrants. Our full statement here ⬇️

The London Ambulance Service is looking to improve the outcomes of global majority women with emergency services. We're conducting research to better understand the maternal health experiences of South Asian, Black, African & Caribbean women. Please see more info below & share!

⚠️ The e-Visa scheme is a digital Windrush scandal in the making ⚠️ The online and digital-only system is used to access services, work, rent and enter the UK. So any problems with the system have serious consequences for people's lives. Hear from Jana Trkulja from IMK Solicitors (p.1 and 2) ⬇️

We've said it before and we'll say it again. In the face of hatred, racism and walls, we will rise together and build bridges. Solidarity to anyone who feels scared, threatened, anxious and angry with the policies and ideologies of Donald Trump and his allies. We see you. We are with you.

Huge thank you to @4in10.bsky.social for inviting us to their conference “Make Childcare Make Sense”. Praxis campaigners Dee and Cat* spoke about their experiences of No Recourse to Public Funds and the campaign for childcare for all so far! *names changed

People seeking safety are being subjected to terrifying attacks in their own homes. The Home Office could prevent this with proper safeguarding and risk assessment - but its consistent failures are putting people at risk. https://buff.ly/42oo4Ug

GOOD NEWS: This week a client was granted leave to remain through the 20 year rule. They have been in the UK for 25 years and sleeping rough for the last few years. We're so happy they finally have some security!

The Home Office has temporarily extended the move-on period for newly-recognised refugees from 28 to 56 days. Bethan Lant, Praxis' Advocacy, Training & Development Manager, breaks down what this means for refugees in the UK. Read and share: www.frontlinenetwork.org.uk/news-and-vie...
