In Manchester, Empty Cages Collective, Manchester No Prisons, Smash IPP, & Unis Resist Border Controls felt the urgency of not only discussing and pushing against border regimes and the hostile environment policy, but also fighting prison injustice. As it was reported in Corporate Watch, the current Conservative government are pushing to build 6 mega prisons, one of which has already been built in Wrexham, North Wales. The crisis of violence and overcrowding inside prisons is causing huge damage to communities across the UK. Likewise, as the research of Luke de Noronha notes, the combination of border violence, the hostile environment policy, prisons, and secret charter deportation flights are disproportionately affecting Black and Brown minority communities in the UK.

For this reason we are organising an event in Manchester, to strengthen the links across migrant rights, labour rights, and prison justice campaigns.

Come join us on SATURDAY 19th MAY, at The Powerhouse Moss Side where we will be having workshops and talks by the following invited groups:

Anti Raids Network

Manchester IWW
