Meeting to decide on tactics to defend rights of EU nationals
Campaigners are to decide on how to tackle the threat to EU nationals over a Brexit deal.
Stand Up To Racism is to hear from speakers about the way to protect overseas workers at a meeting in Deptford Library (pictured) tomorrow.
Millions of EU nationals in the UK – tens of thousands of them in South London – are facing an uncertain future about their rights to remain in the country.
Campaigners fear Prime Minister Boris Johnson is using them as a bargaining chip in the rush for a deal – and fear the Windrush scandal and the Home Office’s “hostile environment” indicate where its policy will go. The campaign want the government to grant ‘settled status’ to EU migrants who have lived here for many years.
Speakers asking what can be done include:
🔹Myriam Kane – Student Stand Up to Racism and NUS NEC member(pc)
🔹Shakeel Begg, Imam – Lewisham Islamic Centre
🔹Kathy Cruise – Save Lewisham Hospital, (campaign against charges for migrants)
🔹Jacek Szymanski – EU national and anti-racist campaigner
