Throughout or 2 weeks at Parliament Square, Ben and I collected signatures for the Still Human Still Here campaign on our placards. We asked people to stamp the words “Still Human Still Here”, in recognition of the bureaucracy of the asylum system, then sign their names next to the stamp. We collected 126 signatures!
The campaing calls on the Government to:
- End the threat and use of destitution as a tool of Government policy against refused asylum seekers
- Continue financial support and accommodation to refused asylum seekers as provided during the asylum process and grant permission to work until such a time as they have left the UK or have been granted leave to remain
- Continue to provide full access to health care and education throughout the same period
Here are some pictures of us handing in the petition:
