Today we celebrate the anniversary of the #HumanRightsAct. More than a legal milestone, it is a practical tool that helps ordinary people live with #dignity, #fairness and #security.

Inspired by Jewish values of dignity, justice and responsibility, we are raising funds to ensure human rights are protected and upheld where they are needed most. fundnation.org/renecassin This is about more than awareness. It is about action. Human rights should not depend on luck.

On 17 June 1939 the MS St Louis reached Antwerp, and 288 Jewish lives were saved when the UK offered refuge. Today, we must uphold that same commitment: safe routes, dignity and protection for all who seek sanctuary.

Today’s announced reforms move the UK even further away from a compassionate, strategic approach to asylum. These constant reactive changes to the asylum process prove what we and many others have long said: policies built on deterrence, hostility, and headline‑driven politics do not work.

Lord Alf Dubs, who came to Britain on the #Kindertransport, has said the government is “pulling up the drawbridge” by suspending family reunion visas. Restricting #FamilyReunion undermines dignity & forces people into dange. We must defend #SafeRoutes that keep families together. 👉 bit.ly/4rDE5in

Safe routes save lives. From the #Kindertransport to today, history shows that when protection is closed off, harm follows. #AtrocityPrevention must start before people are forced into danger. Read why safe routes matter now more than ever: www.jewishnews.co.uk/from-kindert...
