“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”
Migrants from the diaspora, from street cleaners, factory workers, taxi drivers, NHS staff, students, military and police forces, lawyers, teachers, engineers, academics to the entrepreneurs and self-employed, and no matter what your beliefs are, let us be united and celebrate our unsung amazing contributions to the UK.
We will be organising other sessions in London and Glasgow and our various activities for International Migrants Day across the country include Media Lab Training in interview techniques, video making, letters to the editor, testimonies, film and videos.
