The EU supports host communities, where refugees contribute by bringing their skills, starting businesses, and enriching cultural life.
Hope begins with support and solidarity.
Because everyone deserves a place to call home.

Except if Europe is the host community, in which case refugees are lazy criminals stealing jobs and must be returned to misery and danger as quickly as possible, right?
"Because everyone deserves a place to call home."
True. And the barbaric practice of #deportation effectively means denying someone that human right, more often than not for no good reason at all.
("Being from the wrong place or parents and not having been able to obtain the right kind of paperwork" isn't a reason at all to destroy someone's life, sorry not sorry.)

European leaders could implement human rights-based policies toward economic well-being, safety and community care.
Instead, they waste billions on new offshore detention centres, illegal and costly deportation procedures, and the militarisation of borders.

W Światowym Dniu Uchodźcy 71 organizacji prowadzonych przez osoby migranckie, wspierane przez 115 organizacji i osób z całej UE wydało stanowisko potępiające prowadzoną przez UE "wojnę z migrantami". Europejscy liderzy powinni wdrażać polityki oparte na prawach człowieka, dbać o dobrobyt, bezpieczeństwo i opiekę ze strony społeczności.
Zamiast tego wydają miliardy na zamorskie strzeżone ośrodki, nielegalne i kosztowne procedury deportacyjne i militaryzację granic.
Potrzebujemy długofalowych rozwiązań w odpowiedzi na kryzys klimatyczny i ubóstwo, a nie wydawania miliardów na karanie ludzi, którzy poszukują bezpiecznej przystani.
Domagamy się od europejskich lideró zmiany polityki i zakończenia wojny z migrantami!
