@thegreenparty: "If you lived in a country where there was genocide and mass killing of tens of thousands of people, then you would want to flee." Co-Deputy Leader Rachel Millward speaking on Channel 5 about why people seeking safety deserve compassion and refuge.

The lack of empathy in society shows how terrible our mental health is.

jayniedoesart :

It is luck where we are born. I did nothing to be born into safety. I’m no better than anyone for getting the lucky straw.

Seize the day :

Do we still live in a democracy?

I'm in such despair at the lack of humanity so many people have for their fellow human beings.

Meg 🇨🇩🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈 :

My teacher in year 4 was a refugee from Sierra Leone. The only teacher I remember from primary school. She told her story regularly, came over with just a suitcase and she was invaluable to my education. Now I work in humanitarian aid. Refugees bring so much value.

Brilliantly said, Rachel ❤️we are so lucky to be born into a safe country. That’s all it is - luck. Everyone deserves a safe place to live, and we should be welcoming refugees to this country to help give them another chance at living a safe life ❤️
