Blue text box reads "We can't wait 20 years for safety: Sign the petition now" above a picture of a sign saying "the problem is not migration it is misinformation"

No one benefits when we lock refugees and other migrants out of belonging.

The Charity Commission has confirmed we were subjected to a misinformation campaign - and cleared us of all allegations.
