Friend,
Boris Johnson has said people fleeing torture & war could be flown out of the UK to Rwanda in a matter of weeks.
But the government is relying on one of a few small airlines to remove people – and after public campaigns, all the major airlines have refused to take part.
By coming together in our thousands, we can show these companies that taking part would be a disaster for PR and profits.
This week we started to demand the truth from the airlines. I just rang each of them and asked them if they’d be involved. Here’s what happened.
Today let’s make sure people across the UK start to see what these airlines are up to – and that these companies feel the heat. 50 people have been sent letters to say they will be relocated to Rwanda and given only 7 days to explain why they shouldn’t be removed, so we haven’t got any time to lose.
To be a refugee is not a choice. But these airlines have a choice. It’s up to them whether they profit from the pain of torture survivors – or take a stand for refugees instead.
People all over this country don’t agree with the government’s cruel new plan to send refugees to Rwanda. Now it’s time we let these companies know that.
Put simply, if all of these airlines refuse to fly – Priti Patel’s Rwanda plan will fail. Are you ready to make sure of that?
