Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI) are coordinating this open letter- ‘We also want to be safe’ calling for the Covid-19 Inquiry to look into the experiences of all migrants, including those without status, and policies restricting their right to access essential services as part of this investigation.
Hostile Environment policies cut undocumented migrants off from these basic rights. People without status have been left destitute, homeless, and afraid or unable to get help during the pandemic.
The JCWI is calling for accountability, and change.
