#StandWithNapier solidarity campaign goes international

#StandWithNapier has gone international! Today we received these fantastic pictures of support from some of the volunteers we work with in Brussels.

The citizens of Brussels are pretty amazing. At night, there are many who go out and take the refugees home to sleep in a safe and comfortable environment. This has been happening for over two years. An amazing civil society action. We have also seen the fantastic work of the Brussels volunteers for ourselves on our many visits to Belgium.

Today it was also wonderful to receive photos of some socially distanced action from Solidarity Knows No Borders Merseyside at the Royal Liver Building in Liverpool, and more local Stand Up To Racism groups as well as our own volunteer teams.

It is more important than ever for us to come together and call on our respective governments to treat asylum seekers with dignity and respect – just as we would hope to be treated if we were forced to flee persecution and look for help in another country. Please keep sharing your support and images as we know how much this means to the residents.
