The launch was timed for after the announcement of our new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, and ahead of the party conferences (Labour, 25 September and Conservative, 2 October) where we will host fringe meetings to engage both main parties on how we treat refugees.
#FillTheSkiesWithHope to stop the flights

There’s not much time, so we want to make this as simple and powerful as possible, with different levels of action and timing, depending on your capacity.
