Refugees Welcome: Resettle 1000 refugees before Christmas

On Tuesday 13th October 1,000 people will gather at 18:30 at Old Palace Yard in Westminster to call on Prime Minister David Cameron to resettle 1000 Syrian refugees before Christmas and commit to taking 10,000 a year for the next 5 years.

We will also hold a candlelight vigil for the lives of the 6 Syrian children who died last winter by carrying candles, dressing up in our warmest winter wear and placing wreaths around Parliament.

We must act now to build on the support already shown by the people and send a clear message that we will not just go home and forget about it or give up. The country stands ready and willing to support the government in rising to the challenge posed by the largest refugee crisis in generations.
