On Tuesday 19 October, Migrant Voice director Nazek Ramadan was quoted in an article about the upcoming Refugees Welcome rally in Parliament Square, London. Migrant Voice will be attending the rally to stand in solidarity against the government's Nationality and Borders Bill.

She added: “It fails to encompass even the most basic respect for human rights and dignity.

“The government must scrap these draconian plans.”
Mariam Yusuf, an asylum seeker and colleague from StatusNow4All network, was also quoted in the article.
