Hey, nice one :)

Here's a bit revised version. Hope it's ok.

Birmingham NoBorders is a network of grassroots activists who work on
immigration- and asylum-related issues and struggle for the freedom of
movement for all people, for the right of all to stay in the places they
choose, against repression and the many controls that multiply the borders
everywhere in all countries.

Birmingham NoBorders, along with the Birmingham Anti Racist Campaign, have
been holding a monthly picket at the immigration reporting centre in
Solihull, on the last Friday of every month. A banner is erected to
obscure the official sign of the building and asylum seekers' stories and
the true facts about asylum are told with placards, leaflets and
megaphone.

Birmingham NoBorders are also facilitating weekly 'voucher swapping' with
asylum seekers who get vouchers for their NASS support. At the moment, at
least £210 worth is swapped every weeks. The network of people involved is
slowly becoming wider and wider.

Apart from general refugee support work, members of the group are involved
in supporting asylum seekers in building up and running their
anti-deportation campaigns.
