Refugees Welcome in Greenwich
Offer to home 50 refugee families in our Borough, many years ago we welcomed and supported the Vietnamese Boat People and now their families are part of the fabric of our region. We can find space to share with those refugees now in dire straits after all if we had to flee war, terror and torture wouldn't we hope to be given refuge?
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 our prime minister said ‘we won't take any more refugees’. He thinks that most of us 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 Prime Minister that we, the people of the UK, are proud to do our part and provide refuge to people in their hour of need.
