Talk about why this is important to you. Also, it’s ok to be passionate about the situation but we’ll be more effective if we’re polite.
- We cannot wait any longer to address the refugee crisis properly. 351,314 people have crossed the Mediterranean so far this year, of which 2,643 are known to have lost their lives.
- Britain needs to do better. We currently host just 0.6% of the world’s refugees and this weekend Germany took in 20,000 -- the same number Cameron has proposed for Britain in five years!
-
As my MP, I call on you
to propose that in Parliament today the following emergency measures are taken:
- Ramp up the emergency resettlement of the 20,000 Syrians committed to on September 7
- Pledge to give technical and financial support to EU countries like Greece managing reception of refugees
- Commit Britain to relocate our fair share of the tens of thousands currently fleeing into Europe
