The Windrush scandal has shown the racism at the heart of this government's immigration policies. People have been threatened with deportation after being here for decades or generations, contributing to this country.  African and Caribbean men and women in this country have built the NHS and worked hard against all odds and racism to develop public services and progress business and communities across the UK . 

Theresa May has apologised for the way the policy has been implemented, but it is the policy that is the problem. 

We call for a full amnesty and compensation for all of those affected.

Join Islington standing in solidarity for the Windrush Generation tomorrow. 

Thursday 26th April 
1pm-2pm

Windrush 70 years on 

Picture
Theresa May's “hostile environment” strategy has meant that  Windrush citizens – alongside other refugees and migrants – have been treated as the enemy. This policy, which has meant the unfair targeting and alienation of Windrush families, is all the more disgrace as this year marks 70 years since the SS Windrush arrived from the Caribbean; signifying the beginning of post-war mass migration of Caribbeans who answered the call to save post-war Britain. The 70th anniversary should be marked with celebrating the impact of the Windrush generation on Britain today and sharing the experiences of the people who have continued to make a difference in this country. 
Come celebrate with us at our inspiring seminar and presentaiton in June.


Windrush: 70 Years on

Thursday 21st June 6.30pm-9.00pm
Islington Town Hall, Committee room 1, Upper Street London, N12UD
