Refugees Welcome in Gloucestershire
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.
Yet Richard Graham MP for Gloucester said ‘there are few towns and villages that want to take extra refugees‘ He thinks that the people of Gloucestershire don't care. But 38 Degrees members do care. We don't want Britain 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 Britain's long tradition of helping refugees fleeing war. Let's show the local council that we, the people of Gloucestershire , are proud to do our part and provide refuge to people in their hour of need.
