New country. New language. New culture. Leaving everything you know behind takes a huge toll on our mental health. And fleeing a threat, from persecution to the effects of climate change, magnifies that impact massively.

Imagine a hostile government tracking your every move.
At Lunar House, @ukhomeoffice is forcing migrants to wear 24/7 GPS tracking anklets that enable intrusive surveillance.
What if we focused on #DignityNotData?#EndtheHostileEnvironment

The Nationality and Borders Bill will deny asylum to Afghan refugees forced to make a dangerous journey to the UK. @BorisJohnson + @pritipatel can and must do more.
