Keeping immigration detention centres closed
11 September 2024 by Quaker Asylum and Refugee Network
Quakers are campaigning for equality through three specific areas of social justice in Britain: migrant and refugee rights, housing conditions, and a more compassionate criminal justice system.
More than 90 Quaker meetings are now working to welcome migrants and refugees in their local communities. In recognition of the current situation, and our history of helping refugees, our centrally managed Sanctuary Everywhere programme supports Quakers to take action, and advocates for an end to the UK immigration detention system.
