Stand up to Racism is working with Care4Calais to bring much needed aid to refugees in Northern France and beyond.
There are currently around 1,000 refugees sleeping rough in Calais and Dunkirk; another 500 refugees in Brussels; and over 1,500 in Paris. These migrants have no access to even basic sanitation and may not have changed their clothes in weeks, leading to skin disease and similar problems. Since the closure of the Calais migrant camps (Calais Jungle), these refugees have no shelter at night or regular food supply, and their health is in shocking decline.
Stand Up to Racism is organising a trade union solidarity visit to the Calais Refugee camp Saturday 28 April and Sunday 29 April. See Facebook event.
Student Stand Up to Racism is taking a coach over to Calais on Saturday 5 May to deliver solidarity and donations to Care4Calaisand the refugees in the area. Facebook event here.
