March
and conference for Migrant's Rights
October 7th and 8th
In an echo of recent actions in the US, the UK's migrants are coming
out of the shadows and demanding that their rights are recognised.
Saturday October 7th 2006 will see a march through London demanding
equal rights for all. The organisers are calling on migrants, asylum
seekers and their friends, families and colleagues to join the
demonstration and build a movement to change conditions for migrants
for the better.
For many people migration is essential to escape human
rights abuses, conflict and poverty. In turn people from all over the
world help fuel UK prosperity, with London's diversity an important
ingredient in its successful bid to host the Olympics. However, many
migrants are deprived of their full rights in employment and access to
public services, while at the same time being vilified as "illegal" by
politicians and media and living in daily fear of detention and
deportation.
