Interesting conversation with Rev. Gibson from the @OrangeOrder on Thursday about the riots across Belfast, it was interesting to hear about the “legitimate concerns”. What I want to see though is this poster plastered all over Belfast please @duponline

It's @belfastpride week - have a listen to the podcast we did with @qublawpod to hear lesser-heard voices from within Northern Ireland's #LGBTQIA+ #refugee community 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #RefugeesWelcome #NoOneIsIllegal

Congratulations to @RainbowRefugeNI on the publication of their report on accommodation for LGBTQIA+ people in Northern Ireland, and for their recent success in the @belfastpride awards. Learn more about their work in this episode, recorded this year - lawpod.org/podcast/rainbo…

🚨BREAKING: The Government will remove 'inadmissibility' conditions. This means that people who have been kept in limbo for months and years on end, including those who were cruelly threatened with removal to Rwanda, will have their claims processed. This is great news. 1/🧵

REPORT after REPORT after REPORT tells us that the UK asylum system is not safe for queer people. When will @ukhomeoffice listen and live up to their statutory obligations? @UKLabour @Conservatives @LibDems @theSNP

LGBTQ+ migrants seeking asylum in the UK face dangerous living conditions, homophobic abuse from Home Office contractors, and sexual harassment, a new study from @unibirmingham and @rainbowmigrants has found. 📃🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @LaurenMedlicott reports. ⬇️ bigissue.com/news/activism/…

There is no #Pride in detaining #LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, who are among the most vulnerable people in already vulnerable circumstances. @RainbowRefugeNI have provided helpful ways for governments to better uphold their human rights obligations in practice: virg.in/4bALcjn

On #WorldRefugeeDay we remember our beloved friend Ronnie Vellem who, having fled persecution, became a tireless advocate for refugees and asylum seekers here with an unwavering commitment to advancing a shared society. Today we celebrate Ronnie's remarkable legacy.

Please sign my petition to commission adult ADHD services in Northern Ireland and to introduce a ADHD strategy for the thousands living with the condition here. I have been inundated with messages about this over the last 48 hours. change.org/p/commission-a…

Thanks @ClaireHanna MP for stopping by our stall at @CommunityBfast bazaar yesterday. We look forward to meeting you to discuss the shocking lack of safety for #LGBTQI+ people within @mearsgroup asylum accommodation in Northern Ireland.
