Status Now Network - join the Virtual Launch

• The Status Now Network invites you to an online event on Saturday the 11th of July 2020, 4pm to 6pm, to launch the national Status Now Network and the #statusnow4all campaign.
• There is an Early Day Motion down in Parliament now, that is making the call for Status Now.

You are most cordially invited to register here. (All registered attendees will receive the zoom link and details in their registration emails).

As the country locked down in March, RAPAR and other organisations started the new Status Now campaign -  calling for Leave to Remain for all undocumented, destitute and migrant people in the UK and Ireland, irrespective of their immigration status.
 
RAPAR believes the call for Status Now is the only way to ensure equal access to health, housing, food and financial support for all in the time of the Covid-19 global pandemic. The Status Now Network is growing by the day and has its official launch on Saturday July 11th.
 
An Early Day Motion calling for Status Now has been tabled in Parliament. Please ask your MP to support it.

The BBC carried this report about some of our work  last week.
​

At the end of March the Network called on the British Prime Minister and Irish Taoiseach to grant leave to remain, Status Now, to all undocumented, destitute and migrant people in the legal process in both the UK and Ireland, to ensure their and others’ safety during the Covid-19 pandemic. The open letter to the heads of states has received over 65 organisational signatories, the online petition has gained over 3,700 signatories and counting, and an EDM (early day motion) calling for leave to remain has been put down in the UK Parliament.

This launch event will celebrate the newly-formed Status Now Network with cultural events, and will include discussions from people with lived experience of being undocumented, MPs and some of our signatories, breakout groups for conversation and sharing ideas, and a press conference.
