People Before Profit welcomes people seeking international protection to Galway.

People seeking asylum are due to move into Ballybrit in the coming weeks. Our branch is ready to work with others to give them a warm Galway welcome.

We have confidence that the people of Galway will refuse to be swayed by malicious actors who want to deflect our anger away from the government and landlord class onto other ordinary people.

People on twitter calling Christy Moore a traitor remind me why I don't post over there any more.

Imagine the sheer arrogance required to be a frightened keyboard warrior with no real understanding of the world beyond your cosy social-media hate group, and insulting one of our wisest artists, now into his 7th decade of social activism.

Be like Christy. Not like the bigots who are screeching at him.

...Visuel d'AFA 77 : 
"Contre la violence des frontières
et l'inaction de l'État
Organisons nous !
Plus de 450 jeunes à la rue survivent actuellement dans une école du 1 6ème arrondissement de Paris au 58 rue Erlanger.
Les associations présentes à leurs côtés ont besoin d'aide pour permettre aux jeunes d'attendre avec dignité un relogement qui tarde
à être annoncé.
Les besoins principaux sont : Pains de mie, Petites viennoiseries,
confiture, pâte à tartiner, bananes, autres aliments type « petit déjeuner » en portions individuelles, dentifrices, brosses à dents, crème hydratante,
coupes ongles, autres produits d'hygiène.
Plus d'infos et tuto collecte :"
Visuel 2 d'AFA 77 : 
"Les jeunes ont aujourd'hui besoin d'aide concrète et de
solidarité matérielle, aller sur place les mains vides n'est plus
très utile.
Poser devant l'école sur les réseaux sociaux l'est encore moins, les actions de harcèlement de groupes fascistes sont déjà nombreuses il ne faudrait pas faire naître de nouvelles envies de leur côté. Il sera possible de discuter avec les personnes sur place en apportant le fruit d'une collecte pour proposer des moyens humains ou une vigilance antifasciste discrète.
Un point de collecte est une action facile à organiser :
dans ton quartier, ton lycée, ta fac ou ton lieu de travail, organise
dès maintenant une action d'aide mutuelle.
Tuto Collecte:"
Visuel 3 d'AFA 77 : 
"Pour organiser une collecte il te faudra :
• DESTRACTS pour distribuer aux futurs donateur.ices (client.
es entrant dans un magasin, collègues, voisin.es...). Privilégie un petit tract en A6 (1/4 d'A4) qui te coûtera moins cher à produire
et facilitera sa diffusion. « COLLECTE POUR DES PERSONNES A LA RUE » suivi d'une liste lisible et d'une mise en page attrayante.
• UN POINT FIXE DE COLLECTE. Tu peux le faire devant
un magasin sans demander d'autorisation, les directions capitalistes des magasins essaieront peut-être de te faire partir mais reste calme et discute avec la sécurité ou les managers pour rester le plus longtemps possible en expliquant le but de ton action. Dans les grandes surfaces tu risques d'être confronté.e à une sécurité plus
active, préfère les petits magasins ou alors demande l'autorisation à la direction d'un hypermarché en avance. Si on te vire d'un magasin va au prochain plus loin, notamment sur Paris il y a des Franprix, Carrefour City, Naturalia... tout les 500 mètres."
Visuel 4 d'AFA 77 : 
"• DES CABAS OU AUTRES MOYENS DE TRANSPORTS
des dons et assez de camarades pour acheminer les dons à l'école. Si la collecte se fait à une distance trop eloignée pour arriver à l'école à une heure raisonnable, prévois une voiture. Il est préférable de ne pas acheminer les dons vers l'école pendant ou après l'heure du diner par respect de la vie collective du lieu.
• Facultatif mais utile pour gérer la collecte : Un.e référent.e
(possiblement tournant.e) qui reste au point de collecte et s'occupe de discuter avec les clientes énervé.es par votre action ou qui tentent
de lancer une confrontation. Si tu organises la collecte dans la localité de l'école reste vigilant.e. Prévois de l'eau et des sucres rapides pour toi et tes camarades.
Pour tout autre question, privilégie les personnes sur place comme interlocuteur.ice premier.e. La solidarité face à la violence capitaliste et raciste de l'Etat doit être organisée, diffuse cet appel sur les réseaux sociaux et aux collectifs que tu connais mais surtout: organise toi à ton échelle avec tes camarades."

Story from the front page of the Telegraph (too long for alt text, sorry!)
Headline: Braverman given powers to ignore ECHR
Suella Braverman is to be granted new powers to ignore attempts by European human rights judges to block migrant deportation flights under plans to be announced today.
The Home Secretary is expected to be given "discretion" to ignore Strasbourg injunctions, known as Rule 39 orders, which were used by a single judge at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) last June to ground the first flight taking migrants to Rwanda at the last minute.
The move, due to be set out in an amendment to Rishi Sunak's Illegal Migration Bill today, is expected to head off a revolt by some 60 Tory MPs who have been demanding stronger action against the ECHR.
They have also secured promised changes to toughen up the Bill to prevent lawyers in Britain using domestic human rights legislation to block deportation flights.  Such claims will only be considered after the Home Office has removed migrants who enter the UK illegally.
The Bill is de to return to the Commons for its final report stage next week before being considered by the Lords.  The legislation is central to the Prime Minister's "stop the boats" pledge, one of his five key missions for 2023.  
It gives the Home Secretary powers to detain anyone who enters the UK illegally and deport them swiftly to their home country or a third safe nation such as Rwanda, where they can claim asylum.  Ministers hope to enact ...

26 osób z Egiptu od 6 dni prowadzi strajk głodowy w strzeżonym ośrodku dla cudzoziemców w Krośnie Odrzańskim ❗

Osoby domagają się przede wszystkim natychmiastowego zwolnienia, zwracają też uwagę na łamanie praw człowieka w ośrodku, gdzie oprócz ograniczenia wolności nie uzasadnionej popełnionym przestępstwem, nie mają dostępu do swoich telefonów, brak też odpowiedniej opieki medycznej, psychologicznej, psychiatrycznej. Mimo ustawowego określenia ośrodków detencyjnych jako ostateczności, nadal wobec niemal wszystkich cudzoziemców przekraczających granicę p*lsko- białoruską stosowany jest to przemocowe nadmiarowe rozwiązanie. Zamiast koncentrować się na przeprowadzeniu prawidłowo procedur azylowych, państwo skupia się na stosowaniu niczym nieuzasadnionej przemocy.

"German Jews, the Holocaust historian Steve Paulsson observes, were “treated as ‘bogus asylum seekers’ (because their lives were not yet in immediate danger) & as ‘economic migrants’ (because, having lost their means of livelihood, they would benefit economically by coming to Britain). In effect they were treated as immigrants who were trying to jump the queue, rather than as people in desperate need.” Sound familiar?"

from #Germany the depictions presented by #GaryLineker among others look all too plausible...

so as an aside this also offers a defence of Lineker, even though as the author suggests we need to get back to the plight of the refugees as our central concern here.

⬛️ On Sunday we received information about another person who died on the Polish-Belarusian border. The body of a young man was found by activists near Białowieża.

‼️This is another of the many victims of the anti-refugee policy of the state and the European Union.

The dam on the Polish-Belarusian border is packed with electronics, fully topped with razor wire and armed with about 2,500 cameras.
All this cost the government about PLN 1.6 billion, plus electronics for about PLN 332 million. To this should be added the purchase of drones or thermovision by the Border Guard - all this so that - as the Border Guard writes in its social media "it was safe".

❔️ However, is it safe?

❔️ In a cardboard country that spends billions of zlotys trying to convince us that it is doing it "for us"?

The only thing we are sure of is that people still overcome this barrier, and its greatest effect is dangerous fractures or deep wounds and subsequent traumas.

On the other hand, the most weak and defenseless - such as the elderly, the sick or children - camp out in the forest on the other side, by the spans of the wall, hungry, chilled and dehydrated.

"It's not pleasant to find out that there are people on the other side of the fence asking for help and size 26 shoes," said one activist.

And it's not pleasant when you know that you are not able to help and support enough people whom the system and the European fortress condemned to execution...

The thought that on the other side of the fence there are people, including women with children, who spend many days in the cold forest trying to find a better tomorrow - is overwhelming for us.

However, we still believe that our actions matter - not only as humanitarian aid, but above all in the dimension of political changes - for which we fight every day ✊️

While in Podlasie, we also notice an escalation of violence by the Border Guard against people involved in aid activities - intimidation, threats of violence, long hours of detention.

✔️ That's why we encourage you to join our call #solidarity_with_people_on_the_move

You can organize an action, a banner, a picket, or just post content or a photo with this hashtag online👆

Thanks to this, we will together oppose the criminalization by the state and the system of freedom of movement and all forms of help that activists bring to people on the move!

@MarkHoltom What are the chances that she'll "correct the record"? That's right - zero. Because then the Fail would be after her, instead of a sports presenter with a voice and a conscience.
This country is so completely fucked.

On Monday 13 March MPs will debate the Anti Refugee Bill if passed will effectively end the UK asylum system and offers no alternative to protect refugees. Turn up and protest if you can.

So we're at the "silencing dissent and everything we don't to hear or might make us look bad or might upset the people who give us money or vote for us" stage of Britain's descent into authoritarianism.

Just a reminder of what the #DailyMail used as a headline in 1938.
Quote of headline: German Jews pouring into this country.

THIS is the same language that #ToryFascistDictatorship #HomeOffice is using. But sure tell us again they aren't using the sentiments of 1930s germany.

Also would like to say, a famous german jew was refused UK entry due to loss of papers - that german jew was #AlbertEinstien

The Convention further stipulates that, subject to specific exceptions, refugees should not be penalized for their illegal entry or stay. This recognizes that the seeking of asylum can require refugees to breach immigration rules.
...It provides that no one shall expel or return (“refouler”) a refugee against his or her will, in any manner whatsoever...

Here's Michael Rosen's thoughts on #Fascism. Thanks to James O'Brien, who's just read it out and made me aware of it.
#UKPolitics #SmallBoats #ToryFascists #RefugeesWelcome #AsylumIsNotIllegal #FuckTheTories

I sometimes fear that
people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress
worn by grotesques and monstrs
as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.
Fascism arrives as your firend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood,
remind you of how great you once were
clear out the venal and the corrupt
remove anything you feel is unlike you ...
It doesn't walk in saying,
"Our programme means militias, mass imprisonment, transportations, war and persecution."

Well done Gary Lineker!

"Told by another user he was "out of order", he added: "We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries.

"This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I'm out of order?"

People aren't illegal. #RefugeesWelcome

Hurrah for James O'Brien, dispelling the ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE garbage spouted by whoever that faceless Minister was on Today - something Justin Webb was unable/unwilling to do. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO APPLY FOR ASYLUM IN THE FIRST SAFE COUNTRY YOU ARRIVE IN.

Whopper #AntiRacism demo in Dublin today. Huge crowd here at the Custom House. Great to see banners from #Forsa, my union. #IrelandForAll #RefugeesWelcome

As women, we're asking women to march on Saturday.

To march in solidarity with women fleeing war and persecution. To stand up against the misogyny evident at the anti-refugee protests. To be the caring, compassionate society we know we are.

The lesson of history: You either stamp out the far-right (preferably peacefully through re-education, but brutally if neccessary) OR they will snowball until a critical mass and threshold are reached when they can seize control. #RefugeesWelcome https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/10/far-right-demonstrators-clash-with-police-at-liverpool-hotel-housing-asylum-seekers

This is the poster for this event, which has an image of the island of Ireland as the background, over which is written the event details and slogans. The text starts with, "Solidarity March," followed by the hashtag "Ireland for all" and the slogans, "Stronger together. Homes for all. Healthcare for all. Services for all." The event details are then listed as: "Parnell Square to Customs House. Saturday, 18 February at 1:30pm" Finally, at the bottom of the poster is the slogan, "Diversity, not division."
