Great to connect with @andyburnham.bsky.social to discuss the important barriers to integration. In May 2019, RAS Voice had the chance to meet with Andy Burnham and discuss about the "Lift the Ban" report. We're hopeful that he'll continues to be a true advocate for the people. #andyburnham

The UK foreign policy contributes to the push factors that force people to flee, yet we respond with draconian measures like the 30-month stay. Common sense dictates that the UK must assume responsibility for its role." — Yanick, RAS Voice. End the vicious cycle. #RefugeesWelcome

The conversation about housing is all wrong. For decades, governments haven’t built enough social homes. People are struggling. Yet refugees get blamed. Our new video flips the narrative and focuses on the real issue. Watch it. Share it. Let’s change the conversation.

While headlines focus on how many people claim asylum in the UK, there's one number that's not even officially counted: The number of people who die while trying to seek sanctuary here. We know our policies kill people. Their deaths must not be ignored. #KnowTheirNames

Hey Keir Starmer, get the memo? We’ve delivered thousands of messages to Number 10 from our supporters, with the help of some digi-vans! People are fed up with politicians choosing failed policies and scapegoating over investing in all communities. Time for real change.

We are deeply concerned by the Home Secretary’s move to suspend refugee family reunion. No one chooses to be apart from their loved ones. Family unity is a human right—central to healing, dignity, and belonging. Restore safe, legal routes now. #RefugeeRights @refugeeaction.bsky.social
