Please support the Snapshots from the Borders campaign for a human rights-based approach to migration and solidarity with migrants.

This campaign commemorates October 3rd when 368 people including children, women and men lost their lives in a shipwreck off the coast of Lampedusa. http://www.snapshotsfromtheborders.eu/

The aim is to get 25 000 signatures to push the EU parliament for policy change,  and to shift towards a human rights-based approach to migration. Over 10,000 people have signed so far, please help us reach our target, and enable representation for this in the European Parliament.

You can sign the petition here: bit.ly/2LHJ6W6

We, the Leeds Development Education centre, would also like to invite you to come to our free screenings of 2 Award-winning films, which we are putting on with Leeds Film Festival:

– 24th October  To the Four Winds – the story of a ‘heroic’ French people smuggler, who helps migrants to safety. 5-7pm at Leeds University, Rupert Beckett Lecture Theatre, Michael Sadler Building. Free food and drinks

– 30th October  Revenir  – a unique insight, which follows the ‘real-life’ journey of a migrant from the Ivory Coast. 6-8pm Belgrave Music Hall. Free drinks for the first 40 people

Please share our flyers with supporters.

 

Thanks very much for your solidarity and support!

Best wishes,

Alex
