Cafe Economique: Tuesday June 6th: ‘Defending the right to seek asylum in the UK’ feat Mary Brandon, Campaigns Manager, Yorks/Humberside Asylum Matters

Our next talk will be on: Tuesday June 6th 2023, 7.15pm, starting @7.30pm at Chapel Allerton Methodist Church, Leeds LS7 4NB. Mary Brandon, Campaigns Manager for Yorkshire and Humberside Asylum Matters, will speak on: ‘Defending the right to seek asylum in the UK.’ Mary will discuss the current situation for people seeking sanctuary in the UK, tracing the history of asylum in the UK and examining the impacts of the Government’s host of new “anti-refugee laws”, including the proposed Illegal Migration Bill currently making its way through Parliament. We will also look at how communities across the UK are fighting back against these laws to defend the right to seek safety, and the right to offer it, both in the UK and internationally. As usual we will be requesting a payment of £5 at the front door. This payment is required to cover our costs of organising the event.Finally, if possible could you try to arrive by 7.15pm, in time for us to start at 7.30pm promptly – thank you!
