Windrush Day Socially-Distanced Celebrations

Parliament must learn the lessons of the Windrush Scandal, end racist hostile environment policies.

At a time when the Black Lives Matter movement has highlighted the systematic racism that exists in our country Parliament is debating new immigration laws. They must learn the lessons of the Windrush Scandal, end racist hostile environment policies and redesign a system that is rooted in humanity, dignity and respect.

Stand up for migrants’ rights and tell your MP to end the hostile environment once and for all, use Liberty’s quick and easy tool to email them now.

Doorstep celebration

Lambeth City Council are calling on residents to join them in a doorstep celebration on Monday 22 June, by tuning into a broadcast of Desmond Dekker’s, ‘You Can Get It If You Really Want’ on Colourful Radio and singing alone, at 10:27am – which references the 1,027 passengers who were aboard the Windrush when it docked at Tilbury on 22 June 1948.

Those living outside of Lambeth can join in too! Find out more, and download the song, lyrics and artwork on Lambeth Council’s website.
