Time to Get Organised! - Countering the Hostile Environment in Birmingham
Event Information
Description
The government's hostile environment policy is permeating our society and services. It's turning public sector workers and ordinary citizens into border control agents; causing incredible harm to migrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers; and isolating and dividing our communities.
Come along to our meeting on Saturday 1st December to learn how the hostile environment is affecting people in Birmingham - and what you can do to help organise our city's response.
At the event you will be able to:
- Gain a better understanding of the hostile environment and its damaging impacts
- Learn more about what communities in Birmingham are doing to counter the hostile environment
- Explore how you can unite with others to take practical action
Join us from 11am to 2pm at the Meena Centre (located in the former Divya Group building) on Saturday 1st December. The meeting will include a light lunch.

Migrants Organise is a platform where refugees and migrants organise for power, dignity and justice. We develop leadership and open up spaces for relational, organised participation of migrants and refugees in public life. We know that migrants and refugees make a positive contribution to our country - migration is fact of life, so instead of resisting it, let’s organise it!
