Everyone deserves a secure future, no matter where we're from.
But right now, thousands of migrants like us are being held back, forced to wait over 10 years for the right to stay permanently in the place we already call home.
We’re carers, teachers, engineers, parents, nurses. We’ve been here for birthdays, pandemics, paydays. We’ve raised our kids here, supported our community, and built full lives. We’ve been here all along but still, the Government treats us as temporary.
This isn’t an accident. This is a political choice.
A choice that hits women, Black and Brown communities, and disabled people the hardest. A choice that forces people to spend thousands on visa fees driving them into poverty.
This has cruel consequences. We live in fear not knowing if we will be able to afford rent or our next meal. It’s designed to take away our dignity.
And now this Government wants to trap even more people in a decade of stress, instability, and fear. It’s cruel. It’s expensive. And it hurts every one of us. It hasn’t always been this way, and it doesn’t have to be.
We’re calling for a fairer system: no-one should have to wait more than 5 years to settle. No more massive fees, no more hidden delays or conditions, no more living in limbo.
It’s in our power to force the Government to change direction. Add your name to demand a fairer future.
