“We are millions. Let us stand together and show it. Let’s reject the politics of division and hatred. Let’s make tomorrow better than today.”
One Day Without Us, a National Day of Action on February, 20 2017 coincides with UN World Day of Social Justice and will celebrate the contribution of migrants to the UK.
For 24 hours, migrants from inside and outside the European Union, and everyone who supports them, will be invited to celebrate the contribution that migrants make to the country.
Some may choose to do this symbolically, by wearing badges and lanyards, posting selfies or pictures that show their support, or by putting posters in their windows.
Some may wish to have a communal meal or a party with the migrants they have known as friends, colleagues, workmates and neighbours. Workers may take a five-minute silence or a mini-rally at lunchtime or tea-time.
There are also those who may wish to highlight migrant contributions to the UK in more direct ways by preferring a march or to go to a rally. Others may decide to stop work or leave their classes for ten minutes or an hour or the whole day.
There are many ways that you can take part in this day. Do what you feel able to do and what you feel is most appropriate to your situation.
Whatever your nationality and place of origin; wherever you live and work, make February 20 a day of protest, solidarity and celebration.
