Bristol Convoy to Calais fund!

Please donate to help fund the Bristol Convoy to Calais, as part of the huge national solidarity action on June 18.

The funds will be split 50-50 between a 'big Bristol cheque' donation to be presented to the Care 4 Calais support group in the refugee camp, and helping us put on minibuses and print materials to make the Convoy huge!

The Bristol Convoy is organised by Bristol People's Assembly, Bristol Stand up to Racism and Bristol Stop the War Coalition, with big support from Calais Refugee Solidarity Bristol and local Trade Union branches: Unite, NUT, CWU, UNISON and others.

We are having a big SEND-OFF event for the Convoy's departure at 7.30am, Queen Square with Mayor Marvin Rees speaking, amongst others.

Please all join us then!

What is the Convoy to Calais?

MORE INFO: www.convoytocalais.org/

Now more than ever we need a huge response to the refugee crisis to counter the racist rhetoric across Europe trying to demonise and disenfranchise victims of war, oppression and poverty. Some of the largest mass movements in Britain have joined together with major trade unions to show solidarity.

If you can give aid (desired items below) material or financial, for our Convoy to Calais please do. Better still come on the Convoy yourself. Any vehicle will do: lorry, bus, coach, van, minibus, car, taxi, motorbike or scooter!

This is practical aid but it is also a huge moving protest at the way governments across the continent are failing refugees. This is the time to come together and say: stop the scapegoating, solidarity with the refugees.

REFUGEES ARE WELCOME HERE.
