Ben and Ben will be campaigning in support of the Still Human Still Here campaign.
The Still Human Still Here campaign is dedicated to highlighting the plight of tens of thousands of refused asylum seekers who are being forced into abject poverty in an attempt to drive them out of the country.
Supporters of the campaign believe that the denial of any means of subsistence to refused asylum seekers as a matter of government policy is both inhumane and ineffective.
We are calling 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
Please do come along to show your support! You could come to Parliament Square for a lunch-break, a whole afternoon or if you go through Westminster Tube Station on your way home, just jump off, say hello, and wave a banner one evening! Whenever you want to come and support the Still Human Still Here campaign, Ben and Ben will be there!
Ben and Ben also hope to meet with Members Of Parliament and Ministers about the campaign and to introduce them to asylum seekers in those meetings.
