Refugees Welcome in the City of London
Offer to home 100 refugee families
Why is this important?
We are the fourth richest country in the world. The City of London should be setting an example to the rest of the UK - we have the resources to do so and should be celebrating the contribution of immigrants and refugees to our City.
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 we do. 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.
