John,
The UK government is rounding up asylum seekers to send to Rwanda under its brutal deportations scheme – the latest in a repressive crackdown on migrants’ rights across the world.
People fleeing war, natural disasters, persecution… now being treated like animals in the place they sought sanctuary.
But there are also heroic humans fighting to protect them. And we can help.
The volunteer-run group Care4Calais is working round the clock to mount an emergency response – staffing 24-hour helplines and finding immediate legal support for anyone detained. But the workload is surging and they’re tiny in number. That’s where we come in.
If everyone reading this chips in the cost of a coffee, we can help them scale up fast, hiring new case-workers to help defend the human rights of every single person seized under this horrific plan.
These heroes have stopped Rwanda flights before – they can do it again now. But they need to act fast. Can you chip in to give hope in the darkness?

Many of those targeted for expulsion to Rwanda have been detained at routine immigration appointments – seized with just the clothes on their back, isolated from people they know, held in suffocating detention centres to await a desperate outcome.
It’s unfathomably cruel. UN experts have warned that this sadistic plan will set a dangerous global precedent – which is why we have to fight this with all we've got. From the UK to Greece, refugees are being victimized by far-right, racist policies that are costing lives.
But the world is made from more than right-wing politicians. And good people across the UK are coming together right now to stand up to the savagery – to protest, blockade and resist Rwanda flights and to use legal expertise to fight for a more humane world
John, this is a chance to help power that fight, by rushing money to those in the front line to ramp up their capacity to provide vital legal and emotional support.
If they can block Rwanda deportations, it won’t just save lives right now: it will send a crucial message to the UK – and governments everywhere – that we won’t sit back and let them treat refugees like dirt. Are you in?
