We Are Here To Stay
Calling people to join the Migrants’ Rights Network and Ubuntu Women Shelter to organise and build local resistance to the racist structures that keep our communities oppressed.
What to Expect:

Personal Histories: Share and learn from our personal experiences of migration and colonisation. Together, we’ll reflect on how these histories shape our present and our future.

Network & Connect: Meet like-minded individuals, and activists who want to dismantle racist structures and systems locally.

Who is this event for?
Everyone who wants to learn, engage and discuss dismantling systems of oppression.
We particularly want migrants, including refugees, Glaswegian activists, and more to join.
We will prioritise racialised and migrant, including refugee, attendees.
Organisers:
Migrants’ Rights Network is a UK charity that stands in solidarity with all migrants in their fights for rights and justice. We co-curate campaigns using anti-oppression practices to create transformational change, extending beyond the individual impact on migrants’ lives, to tackle oppression at its source.
Ubuntu Women Shelter is a Glasgow-based charity that provides unconditional practical support for destitute women and people of other marginalised genders who have no recourse to public funds and insecure immigration status in Scotland.
