Warm, witty and elegant, Richard E. Grant was always guaranteed to be a charming BAFTAs host. Forget sharp-tongued jibes: the actor kicked things off with a humorous skit with Steve Martin, not to mention rocking up to the red carpet in the Batmobile. Legend. (2/6)
After the recent earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria, many stars – including Colin Farrell, Paul Mescal, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cate Blanchett and Angela Bassett – showed their solidarity with displaced people around the world by wearing the blue #WithRefugees ribbon. (3/6)

2/🧵Ways to help include donating to Ukraine via a registered charitable organization, donating money /goods / points / miles, fundraising, volunteering, attending rallies, contacting MPs, fighting disinformation online, etc. 🇺🇦💪#Ukraine #HelpUkraine
3/🧵Money is still the most effective gift.
Most charities prefer donations of cash due to issues with donated goods (logistical hurdles, custom regulations, transport costs, lacking capacity of nonprofit teams to sort the goods, carbon footprint, etc.). 💲🇺🇦#GiveMoney #Ukraine

Failure to address migrant and refugee health as an essential component of health systems leaves everyone at greater risk of severe health, economic and social impacts when the next pandemic strikes.

The United States is a country made up of refugees and immigrants, save for the people who were here first who were marginalized and those brought over in bondage against their will. That is who we are. And we have welcomed refugees as we were welcomed, and we have...
Become a better country for it. It is distressing, sickening and awful to hear the President spread fear and xenophobia towards those who seek safe haven from violence and persecution here, at the same time This government has reduced the number of those resettled here to...
Practically nothing. We are better than this as a country and those in power should stand up for the most marginalized and vulnerable. This country has always done that, and always should. #WithRefugees

Who Are Refugees?
A refugee is a person who is forced to flee their country or move to safety within their countries because of violence, war, persecution, and climate change. They cannot return home or are scared to do so.

The word refugee comes from refuge which means “the state of being sheltered from pursuit,danger or difficulty.”Every year the World Refugee Day is observed on June 20,and is dedicated to raising awareness on the situation of refugees and soliciting support throughout the world
It’s #WorldRefugeeDay !

While refugees and migrants may live in conditions that make them particularly vulnerable to #COVID19, they are also playing an important part in a united response.

The Greek government wants to replace refugee camps with detention centers. This is unacceptable. People who have fled war & persecution and are seeking international protection should NOT be put behind bars. 1/4

A few years ago, detaining people who have suffered under war and persecution was unthinkable in Europe – now, it has become reality.
The Greek government’s decision to lock up people seeking asylum is simply unacceptable. 2/4

@OxfamEU People seeking asylum in #Greece have fled war, persecution + suffered under horrific conditions in refugee camps on the Greek islands. The majority of them are children. They came to Europe for protection – now the Greek government want to put them behind bars. 3/4 #MigrationEU

Diese Ziele des #GlobalCompact für Flucht und Migration sollten ab sofort der Leitfaden für unsere Politiker sein!
Es geht um Menschenrechte und geregelte "gemischte Wanderungen" mit verlässlichen Regeln.

On #WorldRefugeeDay, I am reminded of the refugees I have met after being resettled in New Jersey. They all sought a better, safer life for their families.
While their stories are uplifting, nearly 70m people are displaced from their homes because of war, violence, & persecution. The global response has been mixed, but some nations and NGOs, like @theIRC, have stepped up to support the neediest among us #WorldRefugeeDay
But thanks to Trump, the US has slashed our refugee acceptance rate in half to only 45,000. Credible estimates suggest we will not even meet that goal. That is why I led 126 of my colleagues to demand answers on refugee resettlement. pascrell.house.gov/sites/pascrell…
As a fmr immigration attorney let me be unambiguously clear. Crossing a boarder to claim asylum is *not* a crime; no under US or international law. Any child separated from a parent under that pretext is done so in direct contravention to the laws of the USA. ⚖ THREAD Pls RT.
If you came to the US without permission to apply for asylum, youmetjod of entry, whether legal or illegal *should* in no way effect your application process. Illegal entry is not a ground of inadmissibility for asylum applicants.
Unlike many other categories of applicants for immigration benefits, ppl seeking asylum in the US are not barred by having made an illegal entry; for example, sneaked across the U.S. border or overstaying a valid visa (one of the top ways people are in the country illegall).
