Strangers into Citizens: Proposal
Strangers into Citizens is a campaign by the country’s largest alliance
of civic institutions for a pathway into citizenship for undocumented
migrants who have made new lives in the UK. The Citizens Organising
Foundation (COF) believes the case for an “earned amnesty” is
compelling, on humanitarian, economic, fiscal and administrative
grounds; and is busy building an alliance of citizens calling on
Government to implement a one-off “earned amnesty” law as part of its
overhaul of the UK’s immigration policy.

Unity the Union of Asylum seekers has called before to be given the
Right to Work. "We are not here to claim benefits". All of us, no matter
where we were born, are stronger if they work together to resist
exploitation. We have more in common than dividing us, No One is
Illegal.

May 7th March for Migrants' & Refugee Rights
- Regularisation for all migrants. No one is illegal.
- The closure of all detention centers in Europe and
everywhere, because migrating is not a crime.
- An end to all deportations and to the externalisation
process which turns countries on the edges of the European
Union (and beyond) into holding camps.
- Full labour rights for all workers, independently of
their migration status. Stop the pitching of workers
against each other.
