Stand Up! Speak Out! is an online training series developed by members of Solidarity Knows No Borders (SKNB) – a community of migrant justice organisations working in solidarity for dignity and justice.
As the Government ramps up its rhetoric that migrants and refugees are to blame for struggling public services, it’s more important than ever that we stand together to learn, build power and take action.
With over 20 online sessions we will share information and strategies amongst public sector workers to resist the hostile environment and show up in solidarity with migrants and refugees.
We’d really appreciate you sharing this with your network!
Whether you are a doctor, teacher, social worker, advocate or anyone else working in public services- join us for the first seminar examining the role of ‘Safeguarding within the Hostile Environment’ led by Social Workers Without Borders, Positive Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers (PAFRAS) and Migrants Organise.
Introduction Session: Thursday March 23rd, 7-8.30pm
