A Letter From EachOther's Sarah Wishart

“

Disadvantaged communities often lack representation and a voice in mainstream society. EachOther want to use our fake news, myth-busting, positive story, community led and PR focused approach to allow those voices to be heard. In 2018 we started a project with the Aziz Foundation who asked us to take this approach to look at the issues around the hostile environment. We talked to a number of organisations working to reduce the effects on marginalised communities. We made a short documentary that heard from front line workers, charities working with campaigns to make change to these policies because of the human rights of the people in their care, and we heard from migrants living in the UK whose lives have been affected by the 'hostile environment. In this Spotlight you can watch the films that we made in partnership with a range of voices and people working on the margins and read the accounts of the impact of the hostile environment. You can also find out more from the organisations we worked with to produce this series of content. Hope you find this useful! Very best Sarah

Dr Sarah Wishart, Interim CEO and Creative Director of EachOther

Suella Braverman MP@SuellaBraverman

Today I met with our expert teams at Dover and Manston who work tirelessly to save lives and protect the UK’s borders. I saw first-hand how we're working to reduce the number of people in Manston, support people there, and thank staff for all their efforts. (1/3)

#HostileEnvironment
"Demonising migrants fans the flames of hatred and division, with dangerous consequences. This week Suella Braverman described Britain as under “invasion” from migrants, suggesting we must redouble efforts to repel some advancing evil."

OMG! What? Can you imagine the refugees in that camp who have fled militarised war torn places seeing her arriving in this! What was she thinking…… #HostileEnvironment

Suella Braverman arrived at Manston migrant camp today by Chinook after visiting Dover.
