Join this workshop to uncover the hidden world of insurers underpinning the UK's abusive migrant detention and border violence industry.
Learn about the web of connections between insurance, detention, the genocide in Gaza and fossil fuel expansion.
Plan how we can mobilise for an organisational boycott against these insurers, lobbying UK institutions to pull the support from under abusive companies complicit in detention and border violence.
This workshop is run in collaboration between Boycott Bloody Insurance, Tipping Point UK and Right To Remain, following Right To Remain's day of action at Derwentside detention centre on Saturday 18th October.
Workshop aims:
To understand the deadly role of banks and insurers underpinning migrant detention and why they are strategic targets
To learn about the effectiveness of organisational boycotts
To familiarise ourselves with the research data
To map local targets and what outreach to them could look like
To start building out a campaign!
