At the end of May, over a thousand organisations and individuals across UK civil society came together to declare this an island of 'solidarity, not strangers', and pledge to stand up for those scapegoated and targeted by the politics of division.

At a time when people seeking asylum, refugees, migrants, racialised people and all minoritised groups are under threat and attack by the far-right, and put in danger by the rhetoric of our political leaders, it's never been more important for us to urge our politicians to unite us not divide us.

That's why we created a version of the Solidarity not Strangers pledge for MPs to sign up to: EDM 1697 - Contribution of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.
