migrants and refugees acting for justice
Migrants Organise is a platform where refugees and migrants organise for power, dignity and justice. We develop leadership and open up spaces for relational, organised participation of migrants and refugees in public life.
From two decades work as the Migrant and Refugee Communities Forum, we know that migrants and refugees make a positive contribution to our country. Migration is fact of life, instead of resisting it – let’s organise it.

On May 21st, Migrants Organise staff, members and volunteers will be walking 10km to raise money for our Community Programme, which provides holistic support to particularly vulnerable migrants and refugees. We hope to raise £15,000, all of which will go directly to funding our mentoring scheme; the classes and activities that we run; and the legal, welfare, and benefits advice and casework support that we provide.
We really need your support to help us maintain our Community Programme. Please do donate generously – your contribution really does make a difference. Thank you.

“I felt so angry after the Brexit vote and the way that migrants were being treated. I wanted to get more involved in the community to make a positive change. As a parent, I feel passionately about the safety of our children. No child should ever have to worry about being verbally or physically attacked simply because of where they or their parents come from.”
