Advanced Arrangements for US Refugees
We have just witnessed the second extra-judicial killing of an American citizen by a US State agency.
Please make advanced arrangements for the UK to receive US Citizens who may need to flee the country in fear for their lives from political persecution.

Why is this important?
Our asylum system is under strain and we have well publicised and ongoing issues in dealing with irregular migration. The deteriorating political conditions in the US would seem to point to there being only more violence on the horizon, which will lead to greater state oppression and propaganda of denial.
The UK has an opportunity to prepare for its moral duty to offer asylum to US Citizens at risk of even greater persecution by the US Government.
It behoves us all to prepare now and avoid another asylum crisis.
