Birmingham Network Meeting: Take action to stop #PayingForInequality
» Whats On Birmingham Network Meeting: Take action to stop #PayingForInequality
Join us for a meeting to discuss the government’s proposed punishing increases to what is already extortionate visa and settlement charges.
The meeting will take place on 26 September 2023, 5-8pm, at the Birmingham and Midlands Institute, 9 Margaret Street, Birmingham, B3 3BS.
The government claims that this is how it will pay for public sector pay rises, but what migrants will really be doing is #PayingForInequality.
The policy is cruel, cynical and trying to pit people against each other. We reject this zero-sum narrative.
In the middle of a cost-of-living crisis this deliberate unjust act will impoverish and take food away from many who are already paying more in fees than they would in most other countries. These increases of 66% on the NHS surcharge and 15-20% on different visa routes will further punish migrants and we cannot keep quiet.
Join us and migrants in Birmingham to stand up against these unjust fee increases, which are an attack on migrants, and discuss the actions we want to take in our campaign against extortionate visa costs and beyond.
