Refugees Welcome in the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield
Offer to home 100 refugee families in Sutton Coldfield - we have a population of approx 100,000 - lots of lovely homes and the largest urban park in the UK. We are an affluent town and have the resources to make them feel welcome and show some them support!
Why is this important?
Aylan, the toddler who drowned fleeing Syria, was just three years old. His town was under attack by Isis. His five year old brother and his mum also died trying to reach safety.
Yet our prime minister has just said ‘we won't take any more refugees’. He thinks that most of us don't care. But 38 Degrees members do care. We don't want Britain to be the kind of country that turns its back as people drown in their desperation to flee places like Syria.
So let's stand up for Britain's long tradition of helping refugees fleeing war. Let's show the Prime Minister that we, the people of the UK, are proud to do our part and provide refuge to people in their hour of need.
