Migration and Justice Forum
 
Tuesday 30 June, 6pm
Broadacre House
Market Street, Newcastle NE1 6HQ
 
An invitation from Northumbria University's 
Migration and Diaspora Network

The rise of UKIP and a turn towards considering migration as a threat goes against the principles of a multicultural Just society, which many people have been struggling for for a long time. We believe that there is now, more than ever, a need to provide a platform of support to obtain justice for those refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, and new, as well as older, ethnic minority communities who need it. We believe that often individuals and communities themselves can help each other if there is space to develop new initiatives and perhaps new ways of working.
 
To support this process we wish to welcome you to an event which will provide an opportunity to voice your opinions about what the main issues are with regard to injustice and migration, connect with others where we have shared goals, and discuss what action we might take. 
 
All welcome. The venue is wheelchair accessible and children are welcome.
 
The event is free but please book your place at http://migrationandjusticeforum.eventbrite.co.uk so we can make sure we have a big enough room.
