Tell us why you're coming to the Mass Lobby for Migrant Rights in Parliament!

Send us a message and tell us why you're attending the Mass Lobby for migrant rights!

We know people across the UK are outraged. We know many are anxious for what it means for their future. Tell us your story.

We want to hear your story.

This Government is introducing the biggest overhaul to the immigration system in half a century. Permanent settlement will no longer be an immigration status secured after a given time in the UK. Instead, migrants and refugees will have to continually "earn" their right to stay in a new conditional system that echoes far-right notions of belonging.

We know around 1.3 million people will be personally impacted by the proposed changes and even more will have friends and family who will be. We know that people across the UK are outraged.

Tell us your story. Share why you're speaking up and joining the mass lobby.

Your message will help us to understand the huge spectrum of reasons for why the mass lobby is so important. It'll help us show just how many people will be impacted, from all walks of life.

We'll be sharing these messages with people on and offline.

Cruelty to immigrants is not what I stand for. We must get back to the compassionate terms again before it is too late. Burak Batuhan K 10.03.2026 21:10
I have lived in the UK for six years, and while I understand that policies and circumstances change, I am increasingly concerned about how migrant nurses are being affected by decisions made in Parliament. Many of these challenges have been highlighted through testimonies at the RCN Congress. Migrant nurses need support and encouragement from the government so we can continue providing the highest standard of care to our patients while also ensuring that our rights and contributions are respected.

I am coming to.see my MP as I don't feel the government is listening to the majority of people of my country. They are being sucked in by popularity media and bully boy tactics of the far right. Elaine E 09.03.2026 23:23
I am from a Jewish family of immigrants who settled in this country in the early 20th century. I want others now to also have the opportunity to contribute to our society. We need their skills and the richness that such diversity brings. Irene W 09.03.2026 16:35
My nephew and 2 nieces would have qualified for settlement together next year, unfortunately under the new proposals, they will not qualify for this and the 2 oldest would need to naturalise as adults at the time because they will have just turned 18, which is highly exorbitant for young people that age, potentially still pursuing academics and no employment.

I am a migrant on a work visa. This is not what we were promised. Labour should be ashamed of turning on their voters like myself and fawning over the far-right fringe. Their betrayal will put thousands of people’s lives at risk and in uncertainty, including my own. I have given the best years of my life to this country and paid enormous amounts of money to the NHS and for visas. That has led us to delay our life plans of buying a house or choosing a better school. This policy just makes things doubly worse. All this uncertainty will put many people like me into a cycle of poverty that we cannot escape from. We need rational and balanced policies, not hate aimed at people who give their best years to this country. Sarker Shams B S 09.03.2026 10:58
I came to the UK from Syria after living through 14 years of war, carrying the weight of the past, missing friends and family, and leaving a career behind. Over the past two years, I have been rebuilding my life here and learning how to start again in a new country. Like many people navigating the immigration system, I have experienced the uncertainty and anxiety that comes with not always knowing what the future will look like. When policies change, they are not abstract ideas — they directly affect our ability to plan our lives, feel secure, and look ahead with confidence. Over time, I learned to navigate new and complicated systems such as housing and Universal Credit while trying to build stability. I was eager to work, give back, and become part of the community. Once I started working and volunteering, I began to imagine what my future here could look like and how I could contribute positively to the society around me. I have been fortunate to volunteer and work with organisations such as Social Workers Without Borders, Borderlands, and Bridges for Communities, supporting migrants and refugees who are navigating similar journeys. Through both my lived experience and my work, I see how deeply policies affect people who are trying to rebuild their lives. That is why attending the Mass Lobby is important to me. I want to use my voice and my experience to advocate for migrants and refugees, and to contribute to conversations about fair and humane policies that allow people to rebuild their lives with dignity.

Changing the rules now feels unfair to those who have followed the law and upheld their responsibilities. Policies should recognise and respect the contributions of people who have played by the rules, not move the goalposts after years of commitment. I will be attending the mass meeting to speak up about this issue and to stand with others who believe fairness and consistency should guide immigration policy. Okikijesu O 07.03.2026 08:33
I work for the NHS and although I am not directly affected I know of loads of nurses that will be affected and I won't to fight for them Matthew B 07.03.2026 07:24
I am a UK nurse trained and working here. Internationally trained nurses have been some of the most important mentors, examples and mother-like figures throughout my career. I don’t know where I’d be without them let alone the NHS. We need to end hostile environments towards all immigrants and the ones who uphold our healthcare system! Imogen B 06.03.2026 17:52
