“All the injustice I suffered, maybe it’s worth it, to show people there is something positive to take from all the suffering. I just hope that soon people can see us & we can finally say we’re not invisible.” An important & welcome milestone. Solidarity. theguardian.com/world/2020/d…

No one should be punished for rough sleeping. @pritipatel & @RobertJenrick we urge you to scrap new rule which could see non-UK nationals threatened w/ deportation for being homeless. It's a dangerous policy & part of the inhumane #HostileEnvironment bit.ly/3fFcwkP
