I Welcome Refugees

Earlier this year, MPs packed out Westminster to support a Bill introduced by Angus MacNeil MP proposing the necessary changes to bring more refugee families together. The Bill passed with an overwhelming majority with 131 MPs voting in favour from all sides of the political spectrum.

But now we need the government to listen to these MPs and also support these changes. The new Home Secretary, Sajid Javid has the power to do this with the strike of a pen. Please sign our petition urging him to reunite more refugee families.

Send backup – email your MP now and ask them to call on the Foreign Secretary to step up UK action to protect human rights defenders.

But scrapping the Human Rights Act is still on the government’s to-do list. Help us protect it - sign the petition.

Campaigning for individuals whose rights are being denied, abused or threatened is at the core of Amnesty’s work. We campaign for prisoners of conscience, human rights defenders, champions of local communities and other individuals and groups under threat
