Refugees Welcome in the Scottish Borders
Offer to home 50 refugee families
Why is this important?
Aylan, the toddler who drowned fleeing Syria, was just three years old. His town was under attack by Isis. His five year old brother and his mum also died trying to reach safety.
We don't want Scotland to be the kind of country that turns its back as people drown in their desperation to flee places like Syria.
So let's stand up for our long tradition of helping refugees fleeing war. Let's show that we, the people of Scotland, are proud to do our part and provide refuge to people in their hour of need.
If every council pledged to take just 50 people, many, many families would have a same place to begin to rebuild their lives.
