Refugees Welcome in Hemel Hempstead

Have a heart and offer to home 50 or more refugee families in Hemel Hempstead.

Why is this important?

Because we are fellow human beings, that's all.

This is something we can really help with. We have a moral duty, and its time we did something human for our fellow humans.

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.
