I’m sure that many of you are aware of the current refugee crisis. I’ve seen a lot of posts saying how awful the situation is and that they want to help the refuges, but they don’t know how. So here is a list of ways you can help.

• 80 Syrian war refugees are waiting in Calais for their rightful and legal asylum
• Create a compassionate Euro-wide policy to deal with refugee migrants in Calais
• End the Calais Crisis
• We are willing to house Syrian refugees 

Protest: 

• March on Downing Street in Solidarity with Refugees on Saturday 12 September. The protest begins at noon at London’s Marble Arch.
